Tool brings model-based design to PLCs

Simulink PLC Coder brings the power of model-based design to engineers developing manufacturing and power generation equipment controlled by PLCs (programmable logic controllers). The design tool can automatically generate code, including closed-loop and supervisory control applications, which helps eliminate errors and reduces overall development time.

PLC Coder generates source code in structured text format from Simulink models, Stateflow charts, and Embedded MATLAB code, and then uses an IDE from an industrial automation vendor to compile the code and run it on a PLC or PAC commonly used to control machinery. (From $10,000 — available now.)
