plcrunextmode

Run external mode visualization

Syntax

plcrunextmode(opc_host,target_ide,mdl_name,log_file)

plcrunextmode(___,idx_list)

plcrunextmode(___,name_list)

Description

plcrunextmode(opc_host,target_ide,mdl_name,log_file) runs external mode visualization using the settings specified in the arguments. Logged signals are displayed in the Simulation Data Inspector.

plcrunextmode(___,idx_list) runs external mode visualization and displays only the logged signals identified by the indices in the idx_list.

plcrunextmode(___,name_list) runs external mode visualization and displays only the logged signals identified by the names in the name_list.

Examples

Visualize Logging Data

The following example uses plcrunextmode to connect to an OPC server and stream log data in to Simulation Data Inspector.

plcrunextmode ('localhost', 'studio5000', 'ext_demo1', 'plc_log_data.mat');

Input Arguments

opc_host — Host address

character vector

Host address of the OPC server.

Example: 'localhost'

target_ide — Target IDE string

character vector

Specifies the name of the PLC target IDE.

Example: 'studio5000'

mdl_name — Simulink^® model name

character vector

Specifies the Simulink model for which the code was generated with logging instrumentation.

Example: 'extmode_demo'

log_file — Logging data MAT-file

character vector

Full file path of the logging data MAT-file.

Example: 'C:\plc_log_data.mat'

idx_list — Index list of logged data

integer vector

The index vector specifying the indices of the logged data signals to display. This argument is optional.

Example: [1 2 3]

name_list — Name list of the logged data

vector

The name vector specifying the names of the logged data signals to display. This argument is optional.

Example: {'Y1', 'Y2', 'i0_S1.Y'}
