Introduction
Simulink PLC Coder™ generates hardware-independent IEC 61131 structured text from Simulink® models, Stateflow® charts, and Embedded MATLAB® functions. The structured text is generated in PLCopen XML and other file formats supported by widely used integrated development environments (IDEs). As a result, you can compile and deploy your application to numerous programmable logic controller (PLC) and programmable automation controller (PAC) devices.
Simulink PLC Coder generates test benches that help you verify the structured text using PLC and PAC IDEs and simulation tools.
