Application Notes
Introduction
Scilab is an open source, cross-platform numerical computational package and a highlevel, numerically oriented programming language. Xcos is Scilab tool dedicated to the
modeling and simulation of hybrid dynamic systems including both continuous and
discrete models. Models can be designed, loaded, saved, compiled and simulated.
Open XCOS
From Scilab console window, typing -->XCOS
Otherwise, click XCOS icon
Application menu ->XCOS

XCOS opens with two window
1. Palette browser
2. Untitled XCOS window
Figure 1: Palette browser
Figure 2: XCOS window

Application Notes
Palette browser
Palette browser contains different types of blocks. To design diagram, select the
required blocks in palette browser and place the blocks into XCOS window by using
drag & drop option. Blocks are then connected each other using their different ports
(input, output, event) in order to create the simulated model.
Example for 1st order transfer function using XCOS

We are required to use following blocks in a first order transfer function analysis.
Table -1: Blocks required for First Order system
Step 1: Select the above blocks in palette browser and then place the blocks in
XCOS window by drag & drop.

Application Notes
Figure 3: First Order System Block Selection
Step 2: Arrange the blocks in XCOS window and then connected to required ports.

Application Notes
Figure 4: First Order System Block Connection
Step 3: After completing the connections, click

- simulation run icon. At the
bottom of the window, the simulation in progress message is displayed till the
simulation process is in progress and then the result will be displayed.

Application Notes
Step 4: If you want to modify any of the parameters of Continuous time system block,
double click on the CLR block and change the parameters.
Figure 7: First Order System Block Properties Editing
Step 5:Set context menu containing Scilab script allows easy to use of functions and
variables.
Simulation-> set context
For example: enter the Y=1 & Tau=1 in set context window

Application Notes
Step 6: We can use this variables in CLR block.

Double click on the CLR block and then change the parameters.

Application Notes
Step 8: If we want to modify final integration time and cscope parameters
Goto, Simulation ->setup
Enter final integration value as 5 and click OK
Figure 11: Output Graph Simulation Time Setup
Step 9:Doule click cscope block and choose the values

For example : Ymin=0, Ymax =1.2 and refresh period=5

Application Notes

Click OK
Step 10: Restart the simulation and result will be displayed.

Application Notes
Step 11: Replace the step function by sine wave generator and then restart the
simulation .The output will be displayed.
