HardwareModeling::HardwarePort

HardwarePort represents a connection point (called "connector" by electrical engineers) in the hardware architecture. The HardwarePort may be logical or physical. For physical HardwarePorts, the electrical connections points are represented as HardwarePins contained in the HardwarePort.<br/><br/>Constraints:<br/>Referenced HardwarePins must be contained (directly or indirectly in a containment hierarchy of HardwarePorts) in the same HardwareComponent as the referencing Hardware port. , or contained in a HardwarePort contained in the same HardwareComponent or as the referencing Hardware port.<br/><br/>Semantics:<br/>HardwarePort represents a physical or logical connection point related to the hardware. For physical connection points, HardwarePins contained in the HardwarePort represent the electrical connection points. If the isShield attribute it true, the HardwarePort connects to the shield of a referencing HardwarePortConnector.<br/>Depending on modeling style hardware port may refer to:<br/><ul>
<li>a physical connection point (e.g., twisted pair wire for a CAN bus) or</li><li>a logical connector (e.g., 1 MB/s CAN bus).</li></ul><p/>
