The block is a supplementary block to the cascade controller, so it is necessary to first understand its function.

This block allows continuous control of the cascade's performance, which consists of one modulated source and multiple non-modulatable (or sources with a limited number of stages). The block itself does not insert any additional control tasks, it only redirects the demand to the last source (the one being modulated) to the outputs RequestOut1 and similarly routes the state of Stage1 to the currently last source. The remaining sources are connected to the other outputs.
