Automation Studio Target for Simulink
Automation Studio Target for Simulink offers an interface for automatic code generation from MATLAB/Simulink for B&R target systems. The MATLAB®/Simulink® and Automation Studio simulation and development tools allow you to move from developing a model to generating high-quality program code in a matter of minutes. The languages C, C++ and Structured Text (specified in IEC 61131-3) are supported. Model-based development using MATLAB® and Simulink® improves production quality and reduces development times.

Technical data
The following software is required in order to use automatic code generation with B&R Automation Studio Target for Simulink®:
- MATLAB® and Simulink®, latest version up to Version 2017b with B&R Automation Studio Target for Simulink® Version 6.2.2 or higher
- Simulink Coder® or Embedded CoderTM
- C++/C compiler: depending on version of MATLAB®/Simulink®: e.g. SDK7.0 or Visual Studio
- Automation Studio Version version 3.0.90 or higher is required in order to transfer code directly to Automation Studio during code generation.
Bidirectional data exchange
External mode
External mode makes it possible to link the target system to the Simulink model via TCP/IP and exchange data bidirectionally at runtime. Data can be made available to the target system directly in the Simulink model (e.g. using 'Scope' or 'Display') or written from the Simulink model to the target system (e.g. using the Simulink 'Gain' or 'Constant' blocks).
