Direct Interface Communication in Simulink
Send and receive data in Simulink® models
The Instrument Control Toolbox™ provides blocks for communicating with instruments and using the serial, TCP/IP, and UDP interfaces in Simulink. The blocks in the Instrument Control Toolbox Block Library and examples showing how to use them are listed below.
Blocks
| Query Instrument | Query or read instrument data |
| To Instrument | Send simulation data to instrument |
| Serial Configuration | Configure parameters for serial port |
| Serial Receive | Receive binary data over serial port |
| Serial Send | Send binary data over serial port |
| TCP/IP Receive | Receive data over TCP/IP from specified remote machine |
| TCP/IP Send | Send data over TCP/IP to specified remote machine |
| UDP Receive | Receive data over UDP network from specified remote machine |
| UDP Send | Send data over UDP network to specified remote machine |
Topics
Open Instrument Control Toolbox Block Library
Access the Instrument Control Toolbox block library in two ways.
Send and Receive Data Through Serial Port Loopback
Send data to a loopback device connected to your computer and read that data back into a model.
Send and Receive Data over TCP/IP Network
Send data to an echo server using TCP/IP and read that data back into a model.
