Overview

TE1401 TwinCAT Target for MATLAB®

With the TwinCAT 3 Target for MATLAB®, it is possible to make use of the functions developed in the MATLAB® script language in TwinCAT 3. The functions are automatically transcoded in C/C++ code with the aid of the MATLAB Coder™ and transformed into TwinCAT objects with the TwinCAT 3 Target for MATLAB®. These objects can be used seamlessly in the TwinCAT 3 Engineering, e.g. extended with PLC source code to make an overall project, debugged and linked with fieldbus devices. The automatically generated modules can be integrated in the TwinCAT solution as TcCOM objects on the one hand and as PLC function blocks on the other. The inserted modules are downloaded with the complete TwinCAT project into the TwinCAT 3 runtime, where they are executed within the real-time environment like all other objects. TwinCAT 3 Target for Simulink® supports targets with Windows 32-bit and 64-bit as well as TwinCAT/BSD®.
