WinAC Target: Add-on for MATLAB/Simulink for integrating and calling MATLAB/Simulink models using STEP 7 and WinAC ODK
https://support.industry.siemens.com/cs/document/56969417/winac-target%3A-add-on-for-matlab-simulink-for-integrating-and-calling-matlab-simulink-models-using-step-7-and-winac-odk
This application illustrates the integration of MATLAB/Simulink models using STEP 7 and WinAC ODK on a powerful PC-based controller with WinAC RTX.
WinAC Target facilitates integration and independently generates:
DLL or RTDLL file with the algorithm of the Simulink model
SCL source with the interfaces of the tip and the communication with the DLL/RTDLL file

This allows you to quickly and conveniently port a Simulink model to a WinAC RTX controller and place it in service.

Using the example of a PID controller, we provide a detailed description of all steps: From the creation of the PID controller in MATLAB/Simulink to the execution on the WinAC RTX PC-based controller. It shows you how to use WinAC Target in a time-saving and easy way to integrate MATLAB/Simulink models. Models can be integrated for STEP 7 V5.5 and also for STEP 7 V11 SP2 or higher.

To integrate the Simulink model, the following steps are performed:
MATLAB/Simulink models using STEP 7 and WinAC ODK

Creating a model in MATLAB/Simulink and testing it in MATLAB/Simulink
Compiling the Simulink model into an SCL source and a DLL/RTDLL file using WinAC Target
Integrating the SCL source into the S7 program
Copying the DLL/RTDLL file to the IPC with WinAC RTX
Downloading the S7 program to WinAC RTX and launching it

Advantages
This application provides, in particular, the following advantages:
Easy integration of Simulink models into WinAC RTX
Simulink External mode for monitoring Simulink models and changing integrated model parameters during operation:
MATLAB/Simulink models using STEP 7 and WinAC ODK

. Graphical online view of the running process
2. Changing internal model parameters using Simulink

Manipulating internal model parameters in the user program with STEP 7
Benefits
This application provides, in particular, the following advantages:
Easy and time-saving familiarization with WinAC Target through detailed step-by-step instructions
Optimized process for integrating Simulink models into WinAC RTX
Effective commissioning and diagnostics with Simulink and External mode
Flexible options to change internal model parameters during operation in the STEP 7 program
