With Simulink PLC Coder, engineers can automatically generate code for
industrial control systems, including closed-loop and supervisory
control applications, says the vendor. Automatic code generation, an
integral part of Model-Based Design, helps eliminate errors associated
with traditional hand coding and reduces overall development and
validation time. Simulink PLC Coder generates source code in structured
text format from Simulink models, Stateflow charts, and Embedded Matlab
code, and then uses an integrated development environment (IDE) from an
industrial automation vendor to compile the code and run it on a PLC or
PAC commonly used to control machinery. To help users integrate
Model-Based Design with their industrial equipment development efforts,
the vendor is working with leading industrial automation vendors
including Rockwell Automation. Simulink PLC Coder list price starts at
$10,000. For more on this product, hear an Automation World podcast at
