Generate L5X test bench code for specified AOI Runner block and AOI name
Description
Examples
Generate Test bench for AOI runner block
The following example demonstrates how to import a simple ladder diagram from an L5X file (simpleXIC.L5X) into the Simulink environment and generate test bench code for it. The ladder L5X file was created using RSLogix™ 5000 IDE and contains an AOI named simpleXIC with contact and coil representing a switch and a light. The following is a snapshot of the ladder structure.
Use the plcladderimport function to import the ladder into Simulink.
[mdlName,mdlLib,busScript] = plcimportladder('simpleXIC.L5X',... 'OpenModel','On','TopAOI','simpleXIC')
The imported model contains an AOI Runner block named simpleXIC_runner, followed by a Ladder Diagram Function (AOI) block named simpleXIC.
Add Signal Builder input block, Scope and output ports as shown.
Modify the Signal Builder input to mimic a switch operation as shown.
Generate test-bench for the Ladder Diagram model.
Tbcode = plcgeneraterunnertb('simpleXIC_runner/simpleXIC_runner')Tbcode =
1×1 cell array
{'C:\runnerTB\simpleXIC_runner.L5X'}If the test-bench code generation is successful, a test-bench file simpleXIC_runner.L5X is created. The generated AOI test bench file can be verified on Rockwell Automation® IDE.
Note
Test-bench generation for ladder diagram models containing timer blocks such as TON, TOF and RTO fails. To generate test-bench code for these models, modify the ladder diagram structure while maintaining the logic.
