1.1 Overview
Requirement
In automation and control engineering, the MATLAB/Simulink software from
MathWorks is frequently used to simulate processes and create algorithms. The
requirement is to have the model, algorithm or function run on an ODK-capable
CPU (SIMATIC S7-1500 Software Controller or CPU 1518 ODK) in just a few
steps.
 The MATLAB Coder and Simulink Coder add-on packages are used to compile
the Simulink models to “C/C++” code.
 This code can be integrated into the CPU via the Open Development Kit (ODK)
interface.
 In the CPU’s real-time environment, the code can be called and executed from
the S7 program.
General task

the S7 program with the “LSim_PT3” function block from the “LSim” library.
Note For the “LSim” library, refer to the following entry:

4. Download S7 program to -
S7-1500 Software Controller.
5. Load SO file to web server. Upload of the SO file to the CPU’s web
server using the “Filebrowser” function.

1 Introduction
During code generation with SIMATIC Target 1500S, the model’s original
interfaces are applied. The SCL block has the same interfaces as the Simulink
model.
The block is provided with additional parameters (EN, ENO and STATUS). The
block is called via EN and ENO. The STATUS output outputs diagnostic
information.

1.2.2 Overview of the overall solution
This application example describes a temperature control system with the following
structure:
 A SIMATIC ET 200SP Open Controller is used as a runtime system.
 The SO file is initialized in the Startup OB. The SO file is loaded to the work
memory.
 The temperature process is simulated in the S7 program with the “LSIM_PT3”
function block.
 The PID controller created in Simulink is encoded to an SO file using SIMATIC
Target 1500S. The S7 program calls the SO file.
 The entire temperature control system (PID controller and simulated process)
is called in the cyclic OB with an interrupt time of 0.1 seconds.

1.2.3 Simulink External mode
Simulink External mode allows you to monitor the model transferred to the CPU
during operation and change parameters online.
To use External model, enable the “External mode” interface in the code
generation settings before generating the code.

1. Monitor parameters
The Scope block in Simulink allows you to graphically display signals. In this case,
these are the following three signals:
 “setpoint” in yellow
 “processValue” in red
 “outPID” (manipulated variable) in blue
2. Change parameters
Simulink features blocks (here: “PIDController”) that have internal parameters, e.g.
P, I, D. You can open the block’s screen form and change the parameter values
during operation. The parameter change affects the simulation and you get a
changed result.

Entry ID: 109482830, V1.0, 12/2016 9
1 Introduction
1.2.4 Manipulating model parameters using STEP 7
If you want to adjust the parameters to the process during operation, you can
access the internal parameters in the Simulink model.
Optionally, you can create a global data block with the required parameters of the
Simulink model. In the S7 program, you can use the global data block to
manipulate the model parameters.
Note If you want to manipulate the model parameters using STEP 7, you have to
check “Parameter access with STEP 7” before generating the code (see Chapter
2.8 Changing model parameters with STEP 7).
The following figure shows the internal parameters of the “PIDController” block
from Simulink and the appropriate variables in STEP 7.

2.1 Model simulation with Simulink
This chapter describes how to create the model to be simulated with Simulink.
Alternatively, open the Simulink model called “ModelProcessPID.slx” from the
sample project.
2.1.1 Temperature process
This application example simulates a temperature process. As a response to a step

from 0 °C to 50 °C, the process aperiodically approaches the value 50 °C (see
Figure 2-1).
The following figure shows the step response of the process depending on the time
(s). The y-axis corresponds to the temperature (°C).
Figure 2-1: Step response of the temperature process
As a mathematical model, there is a continuous PT3 controlled system with the

following formula:
1 1 1
G( s)   
10s  1 10s  1 5s  1
In Simulink, the process is simulated in the form of three PT1 functions connected
in series.

2.1.5 Preparations for External mode
To allow you to monitor the PID controller running on the CPU, Simulink provides
External mode. To graphically visualize the PID controller signals, you have to
insert a “Scope” block.
In the sample project, these customizations have already been implemented.
Table 2-4: Preparations for External mode

 “Simulink > Signal Routing > Mux”
4. Double-click the “Mux” block and change the value of the “number of inputs”
parameter to 3.
5. Connect the model and name the blocks as shown in the below figure.
The black & white blocks of the “ModelPID” model are for graphical
visualization of the signals only and do not influence the overall simulation.
6. Now the model can be encoded for the S7-1500 Software Controller and run
(see Chapter 2.2 Code generation with SIMATIC Target 1500S).

project”.
With this setting, SIMATIC Target 1500S generates an ODK project that
you can edit with Eclipse and compile even without Simulink.
2. Check “Parameter access with STEP 7”.
This setting enables parameter access to the model parameters via the S7

Use an Ethernet cable to connect the programmer (PG/PC) to the runtime system
(SIMATIC ET 200SP Open Controller).
Make the following settings:
 PG/PC interface:
– Ethernet (IP address: 192.168.1.100)
 ET 200SP Open Controller:
– X2P1 Windows interface (IP address: 192.168.1.1)
– X1 CPU PROFINET interface (IP address: 192.168.0.1)
The subnet mask for all interfaces is 255.255.255.0.
Note For External mode, the correct HW identifier must be parameterized in the
Target 1500S Options and in the S7 program (call of the “ModelPIDCallExtMode”
FB). Each interface has its own HW identifier:
Interface HW identifier
X2P1 Windows interface 59
X1 CPU PROFINET interface 64
You can read out the HW identifier in TIA Portal in each CPU in “PLC tags >

again.
If you want to permanently change the values, regenerate the blocks using
Target 1500S. Reload the SO file to the web server. Restart the CPU.
If you change not only parameters but also the model and the interfaces of the
block (here: “PIDController”), you have to reintegrate the SCL source into the S7
program.
