Use PLC_RemoveSSStep for Distributed Code Generation

Open Script

This example shows how to generate structured text code for different components of your model, and then allow external integration by keeping ssMethod case names the same.

Open model

Open the model by using the following command:

open_system('mSystemIntegration');

Configure Model Components for Distributed Code Generation

To autogenerate structured text code with the same ssMethod type for every component of your model for external code integration later on, use Keep Top-Level ssmethod Name the Same As Non-Top Level function.

Code Generation

Open Simulink PLC Coder.
Select the Subsystem1 block.
Click Settings. Navigate to PLC Code Generation > Identifiers. Select the check box next to Keep top level ssMethod name same as non-top level.
Click OK.
Repeat steps 2 through 4 for SubSystem2, SubSystem3, and TopSystem.

Generate Code for the Subsystem

To generate code for the individual subsystem use, plcgeneratecode function:

plcgeneratecode('mSystemIntegration/TopSystem/SubSystem1');
plcgeneratecode('mSystemIntegration/TopSystem/SubSystem2');
plcgeneratecode('mSystemIntegration/TopSystem/SubSystem3');
