Data Access with Simulink

Use blocks in Simulink^® models to communicate with OPC servers

The Industrial Communication Toolbox™ block library provides a set of blocks for accessing OPC DA servers in Simulink models.

Blocks

OPC Configuration	Configure OPC DA clients for model, pseudo real-time control, and behavior for OPC errors and events
OPC Quality Parts	Convert OPC DA quality ID into vendor, major, minor, and limit status
OPC Read	Read data from OPC DA server
OPC Write	Write data to OPC DA server

`genslread`	Generate Simulink OPC Read block from MATLAB group object
`genslwrite`	Generate Simulink OPC Write block from MATLAB group object
