Hi Engr.,

Based on the image provided, I am assuming you are using the example model available in the following documentation in MATLAB R2023b:

https://www.mathworks.com/help/releases/R2023b/simscape-battery/ug/balance-battery-cells-with-switched-capacitor-method.html

There are two types of blocks circled in the image.

• One of them is the “Battery (Table-based)” block available in the Simscape Battery library. This block models a physical battery with charge and discharge dynamics as well as optional temperature modelling. You can refer to the following documentation to know more about the block: https://www.mathworks.com/help/releases/R2023b/simscape-battery/ref/batterytablebased.html
• The other type of block is the “PS-Simulink converter” available in Simscape Utilities library. It is used to convert a physical signal from Simscape into a Simulink output signal. You can refer to the following documentation to know more about the block: https://www.mathworks.com/help/releases/R2023b/simscape/ref/pssimulinkconverter.html

The “Battery” block has an additional parameter “Expose SOC measurement port” that can be enabled in the block parameters of the block. You can refer to the following documentation link to know more about this port:

https://www.mathworks.com/help/releases/R2023b/simscape-battery/ref/batterytablebased.html#mw_1f75b217-c261-42a0-b76c-64ded309c875

When enabled, the port automatically shows up on the corner of the battery block. This port can now be connected to the PS-Simulink converter by left-clicking and dragging a wire from the port to the converter.

I hope this answers your query.
