External mode on Simulink

Hello,

I have two problems:

1) I don`t have the possibiltiy to choose "externa mode" on the surface of simulink (see picture: matlab2). It is possilbe to choose it otherwise?

2) I can not find the button "connect to target" in simulink. Where can I find it?

Thank you in advance for your help.

Thank you for your help.

I have found the problem. Matlab 2019b is not compatible with Target 1500S V3. I have to use Matlab 2018b.

Hi, I have the same problem, could you solve your problem?

[Alexandros Rodosthenous]

Hi,

yes I solved the problem. Matlab 2019b is not compatible with Target 1500S V3. You have to use Matlab 2018b.

In the pictures you can see the requirements for matlab / simulink and for siemens to use external mode.

I believe your system target file (the .tlc-file) may not be capable of External mode. You need to set it to something like slrt.tlc if you intend to use simulink real-time.

I am new in simulink and matlab. How do we set this file? I am just trying to upload an arduino model via matlab.

Which version of MATLAB are you using ?

Below documentation explains how to connect to external mode in the R2019b MATLAB :

Hope this will help you.

I still do not have external mode option for running my arduino model. Is it 2019b version problem? Older editions had external mode from the initial installation.
