Using the block diagram

The block diagram export can be configured during generation of a TcCOM module from MATLAB® or Simulink®. If the export was enabled, the block diagram can be found in the TwinCAT development environment under the "Block Diagram" tab of the module instance.

Using shortcuts, drag & drop and a context menu you can navigate through the hierarchy of the TcCOM module, view parameter values, display signals values and obtain optional additional debug information.
