MATLAB^®/Simulink^® integration: XTS pendulum showcase

TwinCAT 3 Target for Simulink^® provides an interface between Simulink^® and TwinCAT. The Simulink^® software is developed and distributed by the MathWorks company. The programming environment is based on MATLAB^® and is widely used both in science and in industry. Simulink^® is a graphic programming environment that is ideally suited to the model-based development process. Simulation models of systems can be created and, for example, control and feedback control algorithms in order to test the models created.

MATLAB^® and Simulink^® are developed and distributed by the MathWorks company. The two programming environments are widely used both in science and in industry. Simulink^® is a graphic programming environment that is ideally suited to the model-based development process. MATLAB^® is a script language for the development of algorithms and mathematical models.

The TwinCAT software system turns almost any PC-based system into a real-time control with multiple PLC, NC, CNC and/or robotics runtime systems.

As an intelligent transport system, the eXtended Transport System enables flexible motion profiles and new types of machine concept.
