connect hardware I/O to simulink model

[Fred0815]

Hello,

i developed a controller using simulink. It's already been testet by connecting signal generators via "simulation interface toolkit" between labview and simulink. That worked out very well. The next step would be testing the controleron the real process. Therefore I have to connect the inputs and outputs of the simulink model to measurements and manipulated variables of the real process.

Since there is no real time hardware on wich I could apply the .dll of the Simulink model for testing purpose I have to find a different way.

So here's my question: Is there a possibility to connect Simulink IN and OUTs to measurements within LabVIEW? And apart from that I want to send the manipulated variable which is calculated by simulink back to LabVIEW and via Rs232 e.g. to the real process.

I would be thankful for every answer or hint on how to fix this problem.

Hey,

Yes, it's possible to connect IOs via customized code in the realtime driver VI.

Please have a look at the following two webcasts (they are in German, I assume you are from Germany) where this will be explained in detail.
