Direct Interface Communication in Simulink
Send and receive data in Simulink® models
The Instrument Control Toolbox™ provides blocks for communicating with instruments and using the serial, TCP/IP, and UDP interfaces in Simulink. The blocks in the Instrument Control Toolbox Block Library and examples showing how to use them are listed below.
Blocks
| Serial Configuration | Configure parameters for serial port |
| Serial Receive | Receive binary data over serial port |
| Serial Send | Send binary data over serial port |
| TCP/IP Receive | Receive data over TCP/IP network from specified remote machine |
| TCP/IP Send | Send data over TCP/IP network to specified remote machine |
| UDP Receive | Receive data over UDP network from specified remote machine |
| UDP Send | Send data over UDP network to specified remote machine |
| VISA | Communicate with VISA resources (Since R2023b) |
Topics
- Open Instrument Control Toolbox Block Library
Access the Instrument Control Toolbox block library in two ways.
- Send and Receive Data over TCP/IP Network
Send data to an echo server using TCP/IP and read that data back into a model.
- Enable Blocking Mode in Receive and Send Blocks
Make your simulation wait while the block receives or sends data.
- Timing in Hardware Interface Models
Determine block execution frequency and relate to real-world time.
