Target 1500S for Simulink

The SIMATIC Target 1500S is an add-on for the Simulink^® software from The MathWorks. This makes it possible to also use model-based design with MATLAB^® and Simulink for SIMATIC S7-1500 controllers. For this purpose, executable code for all ODK-compatible S7-1500 controllers (S7-1500 Software Controllers, ET 200SP Open Controllers and CPU 1518 ODK) is generated directly from Simulink via the target 1500S.

Область применения

Model-based software development with MATLAB and Simulink is frequently applied where complex open-loop and closed loop control algorithms are used. These algorithms can be graphically modeled in Simulink and directly simulated and verified. The target 1500S makes it possible to convert these models into executable code for ODK-compatible S7-1500 controllers. The Simulink models can then be directly integrated into the S7 program of a controller.

Функции

Directly executable code for ODK-compatible S7-1500 controllers is generated from a Simulink model. This consists of:

Executable real-time code for the controller
S7 program blocks for calling the real-time code

The S7 program blocks are called directly in the S7 program and execute the Simulink model on the controller.

The following functions can be activated as options:

Simulink external mode: Enables monitoring and control of model parameters on the S7-1500 CPU from Simulink
Parameter access from S7 program: Enables model parameters to be changed during runtime from the S7 program

Особенности

Executable code for ODK-compatible S7-1500 controllers can be directly generated from existing or newly created Simulink models. This provides the following benefits:

Model-based design with MATLAB and Simulink for SIMATIC S7-1500 controllers
No manual reprogramming of the controller or control model
No knowledge of C/C++ required
No ODK 1500S expertise required
No error-prone manual changes to the generated code required
No additional runtime costs
