Simulation Interface Toolkit 4.0 cannot map to indicator

I have LabVIEW 8.5, SIT 4.0 and Matlab R2007b which uses Simulink 7.0. NI has a manual and example for using the Simulation Interface Toolkit at http://digital.ni.com/manuals.nsf/websearch/679117802743CC128625732B00697485 I can map control signals just fine between LV and Simulink but when I try to connect an indicator such as a Waveform Graph or numeric indicator to Port 1 of a Simulink object like a Sum block or Sine Wave (as the example shows) it always says that the mapping is invalid and greys out the box. It seems like there is a bug here because this should just work. Port 1 of a Sum or Sine Wave should be its output as a scalar. Anyone that uses the SIT have any ideas?
I've attached the help file with example that I followed.

Required SW for the Simulation Interface Toolkit

Hello,
I would like to add a LabVIEW front panel to my Matlab/Simulink model. According to the data sheet, the following software is required for the SIT:
System Requirements
The LabVIEW Simulation Interface Toolkit requires that you have a
proper license for the following products:
• MATLAB® version 6.0 or later
• Simulink version 4.0 or later
• Real-Time Workshop® version 4.0 or later
• Microsoft Visual C++ version 6.0 and
• LabVIEW version 7.0 or later
To simply create a LV front panel for my model, do I still need to have LabVIEW installed? If so, which versions would be compatible?
I currently have the student version of Matlab 6.0 and Simulink 4.0. Will the SIT work with the student version?
If I only want to create a LV front panel, do I still need to have the RT Workshop or Visual C++ installed?
Thank You,
Mike

Greetings!
Yes, you are required to get the sw as mentioned.
To simply create a LV front panel for my model, do I still need to have LabVIEW installed? If so, which versions would be compatible?
Yes, to create a LabVIEW user interface / front panel, LabVIEW is required. LabVIEW 8.2 is the latest version.
The Simulation Interface Toolkit (SIT) 3.0.2 updates SIT 3.0.1 to support LabVIEW 8.2, the LabVIEW 8.2 Real-Time Module, and the LabVIEW 8.2 FPGA Module. You also can use SIT 3.0.2 with LabVIEW 7.1.x or with LabVIEW 8.0.x. However, you cannot install SIT 3.0.2 for more than one version of LabVIEW on the same computer.
2. I currently have the student version of Matlab 6.0 and Simulink 4.0. Will the SIT work with the student version?
The MathWorks, Inc. MATLAB® / Simulink® application software R2006a.
The MathWorks, Inc. Real-Time Workshop® R2006a.
Support for The MathWorks, Inc. MATLAB® / Simulink® application software release 13.x or 14.0, 14.1, 14.2, 14.3
If you install SIT 3.0.2 for LabVIEW 7.1, you can use Microsoft Visual C++ 6.0 to convert models to model DLLs. If you install SIT 3.0.2 for LabVIEW 7.1.1, 8.0, 8.0.1, or 8.2, you can use either Visual C++ 6.0 or Visual C++ .NET 2003.
If you installed more than one version of The MathWorks, Inc. MATLAB® / Simulink® application software, SIT installs support only for the latest version on the computer.
You want to make sure the Matlab release is one amongst the above.
3. If I only want to create a LV front panel, do I still need to have the RT Workshop or Visual C++ installed
RT Workshop comes with SIT. You will have to get Visual C++ and use that compiler.
Thanks and hope this helps

Error 1092 happened while running the executalbe file from an example code of Simulation Interface Toolkit

With Simulation Interface Toolkit 3.0.1 and LabVIEW 8.0, I built the example code Sine Wave.vi to be an executable file. I made no modification to the code except setting Real-Time Target to be localhost in SIT Connection Manager. Everything was OK during the building process. But when I run it, error 1092 was reported. Here is the error message.
Error 1092 occurred at Invoke Node in sit Traverse.vi->sit Traverse for References.vi->sit Find Object By Label.vi->sit Get RPS-Control-Indicator Refs.vi->sit Init Model.vi->Sine Wave.vi (Traverse Initialization Failed)
I cannot find out any helpful information about this error code. Can anybody help me? Thanks a lot!

To my knowledge, building an EXE out of a SIT host VI is not supported. The SIT host VI utilizes functionality in LabVIEW that is not exposed in the LabVIEW Runtime Engine (i.e., with built EXEs and DLLs).

Simulation interface toolkit: SUB VI not executable error

Hi;
I have a real-time application where I model things in Simulink and use Simulation Interface Toolkit to carry out hardware-in-the-loop simulations. As a real-time target, I am using NI-PXI8106 with NI-PXI6251 DAQ card on it. Up until now, I was able to run my code just fine. However, for some reason, my vi didn't work today and gave several errors such as:
SubVI NI_SIT_sitclient.Lvlib:RVE.vi: SubVI is not executable
Details:The SubVI is not executable. You must fix all error in the subVI before this VI can run.
SubVI NI_SIT_sit Init Model.vi: SubVI is not executable
Details:The SubVI is not executable. You must fix all error in the subVI before this VI can run.
This is just few of many error that I received...In the details section of the error list window, the error statement are usually like the following:
SUBVI not supported for current target..
Type not supported in the current target...
The only thing that changed since the last time I ran this program with success is the IP change of the target machine..However, when I use Measurement and Automation tool, I am able to access my target machine (PXI8106) without a problem...Maybe there are some certain rules for IP settings on the PXI target? ...I can provide the details of my new IP configuration numbers if necessary...
I also reinstalled the SIT 5.0 on the target machine but It didn't do the trick. I am wondering if there is anyone out there who can help me out with this problem..
Thank you so much!
Kind Regards.

Hi there,
I was just wondering if you did manage to solve this problem. I'm a new user and have recently started using the Simulation interface toolkit. I have created my model using Simulink and used the real-time workshop to convert it to a .dll file. I tried to run it on labview and it seems to build it on the realtime target, however as soon as map it to the hardware (using a NI BNC-2111,It's just a bunch of analog inputs and output which I have connected to a voltmeter), a dialog box pops up with the the following error:
Error 1003 occurred during host VI initialization: SIT_test1.vi >> NI_SIT_sitclient.lvlib:sit Init Model.vi >> NI_SIT_sitclient.lvlib:sit Connect to Target.vi
<append>=========================
Simulation Interface Toolkit: The driver VI (SIT_Test_Driver.vi) is not executable.
Check the following:
1) You have not modified the driver VI.
2) You properly installed SIT and any necessary driver software on the target.
3) The target has not been locked from Measurement and Automation Explorer.
Do you want to launch the SIT Connection Manager dialog box and reconfigure the simulation?
Please look at the JPEG picture attached below to see how the error looks on my monitor.
Thanks

Simulation interface toolkit tutorial

I'm trying to perform the tutorial titled "Converting a Simulink Model into a Model DLL", found on p.22 the Simulation Interface Toolkit manual (http://www.ni.com/pdf/manuals/370420b.pdf).
It starts off by building a new Simulink model of a sine wave (p.9). On step 7 of that process, it mentions a "NISink" block from the "NI Toolkit Sinks" library in Labview. I do not see this library, and I got zero hits when I searched the libraries for "NISink". I do have a library callled "NI SIT Blocks" but it does not have a "NISink" block, only "SignalProbe", "SIT Out1", and "SIT In1".
I am using SIT V5.0 with Simulink V7.2(R2008b), but the tutorial appears to be a bit older, perhaps from SIT V2. I assume that "SIT Out1" has replaced "NISink" but, as a novice, assumptions bother me. Is there a more up-to-date users guide available? I found the "SIT 2009 Help" file online (http://zone.ni.com/reference/en-XX/help/371504E-01/) but the how-to's there do not contain any tutorials.

I found a help example that was installed on my system with Labview, obviously a little more up to date. It’s also found online here:
http://zone.ni.com/reference/en-XX/help/371504E-01/TOC5.htm
I ran through the help example for the SIT how-to "configuring a simulation" and it worked as expected. When I then proceeded to the "configuring a simulation on a real-time target", I found that tasks 1 and 2 were already complete and verified working from the first how-to. During task three, however, step 7 fails at compile time (see attached file matlab_output.txt)
It looks to me like it is mssing a header file from the Simulink Real Time Workshop (called rtwtypes.h). It contains declarations for some sized and unsized generic data types, including uint_T. However, that file is available in the regular RTW library directory. Not sure why I can use the SIT server in Simulink to control the s-function with LabView, but I can't build a stand alone DLL for a real time system.

Simulation Interface Toolkit

Hello,
I'm using the Simulation Interface Toolkit 3.0 because I want to control a Simulink model in LabVIEW 7.1. For instance, I want to generate a sine wave using a constant block. In this manner I can provide to my Simulink model every kind of signal without changes in it.
To perform this task Simulink needs an input value at each integration step.
I would to know if this task is achievable and if someone could tell me something about the communication between LabVIEW and Simulink.
Thank you for your help!:smileywink:

Hi Alessio,
Maybe you have the solution to my problem:
I have a Simulink model that works with a LabVIEW VI using the Simulation Interface Toolkit and the SIT server.
In order to use this model and this VI without Simulink, I created a dll (nidll) of my Simulink model like shown in the following manual:
http://www.ni.com/pdf/manuals/370420b.pdf
By doing so, LabVIEW automatically created 6 VIs that should work with my model DLL.
My questions are:
- Can I use the VI that I previously made for my Simulink model with the model dll ?
- If yes, How ?
- If no, How can I use my model dll and these new VIs?
Thanks in advance.

Simulation Interface toolkit not working

I am working on a simulation and control problem using LABVIEW and Matlab. I have installed the simulation interface toolkit. But, the SIT server is not running. I have added the lines:
"addpath('C:\SimulationInterfaceToolkit'); NISIT_AddPaths; NISITServer('start',6011);"
in the matlabrc.m file. The NI SIT blocks are available in the simulink library. When I start matlab, the line:
" SIT: Added paths for Simulation Interface Toolkit 2011" appears. But the lines: "Starting the SIT Server on Port 6011 SIT Server started" don't show when matlab starts. I am attaching the Matlab startup screen.
Please help me out with this.
Thank You

OK I solved )))
Try the follwowing:
1- uninstall Labview and Matlab and the simulation interface toolkit (SIT) (be sure that u have only one version from SIT)
2- If you are going to use SIT 2011...then you will need Labview 2011 for sure and Maximum version of Matlab 2010 I think.
Revise the combatibility of SIT with Matlab on google
Be sure to use MATLAB 32-bit version
hope it will help

No output from Simulink to LabVIEW with Simulation Interface Toolkit (0/1)

I'm able to send data from labview to simulink, but the labview
display doesn't show any output from the simulink model. I've attached
two very simple labview and simulink files which gives me this
problem. I have the same problem when trying to implement the sinewave
example in the manual for the toolkit as well.
I'm using LabVIEW 7.1 Pro, Matlab 6.5 and Simulink 5.0 on WinXP pro.

The Simulation Interface Toolkit 2.0.1 or earlier does not work with LabVIEW 7.1. There is a patch available (or available soon) from NI support that corrects this problem. THe patch is Simulation Interface Toolkit 2.0.2.

Reproduction of Simulation Interface Toolkit example

Hallo everyone,
in trying to reproduce the example found in the Simulation Interface Toolkit How-To I am facing an error with LabVIEW 2009.
I have succesfully created a host-VI working with the Simulink .mdl-file on localhost as Simulation Environment which runs well.
And I can succesfully compile the desired .dll-file (sinewave.dll) with Simulink and nidll.tlc.
But if I want to use a cRio-9024 as Real Time-Target with FPGA-Interface I get the following error when I start the Host-VI:
<<<

Why should I produce a file called sinewave.out? I don't think I really need it.
Can anyone please tell me how to employ the sinewave.dll properly so that it works on my cRio?
(I don't want to use hardware I/Os yet, just run the .dll on the cRio.)
The best help for would be a step-by-step description coming from a working VI which uses sinewave.mdl inside LabVIEW and having sinewave.dll ready for use.
Must I consider any other document to be able to finish this example?
Thanks for your effort!
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Hallo Marco,
thanks for your advice. I will give your hint a try.
But I wonder why I need an .out-file? Is the cRio 9024 device a VxWorks-based target?
Thanks for your help!

Simulation Interface Toolkit - How to toggle a manual switch in simulink from LabVIEW?

I have a manual switch in my simulink diagram that I want to use to switch between to values from my LabVIEW interface. I have tried to connect a toggle switch at LabVIEW`s VI with different parameters in the simulink model(I can choose betweenhow Port Labels, sw, and action), but none of them seem to work properly.
The manual switch in Simulink gets to inputs, one output. There is also an Environment Cotroller that output the simulation(SIM) or Real-Time Workshop(RTW) port depending on the current environment.
At this time I am doing simulations and are not using Real-Time Workshop.
I want to thank you for your help in advance.

Hi
Kotsya,
Thank you for posting to the National Instruments Discussion
Forums.
If you are not using the Math Interface Toolkit, you may be
interested in using the MATLAB® Script Node. This allows
you to call MATLAB® commands using ActiveX and I you
can call your Simulink model from MATLAB® that way.
Here are some resources on how you can do this:

Simulation Interface Toolkit: Fehler 62 ist bei TCP... (möglicherweise: Überlauffehler am seriellen Anschlus)

Hallo,
nachdem ich meine Mappings zwischen einer .mdl Datei und meinem HostVI durchgeführt habe, löst sich ein Fehler beim Ausführen des VIs aus.
"Mögliche Ursache: Überlauffehler am seriellen Anschlus", stand im anbei eingefügten Fehlerbox.
Eigentlich wollte ich ziemlich große Datenmengen mittels SIT übertragen (<10001x2 double>...), nachdem ich die mit dem Matlabskript ausm Matlab-Workspace geladen habe.
(Das Projekt ist noch im Entwurf und gliedert sich im Rahmen einer HiL-Simulation. Es sind SIT CAN Mappings vorgesehen).
Anbei das Simulinkmodell, ein Screenshot vom Fehlerbox, das HostVI, ein SubVI zum laden der Matlabvariablen, die Matlabvariablen in eine .mat Datei, die Mappingsdatei.
Meine Fragen jetzt:
- erstmal wie kann ich den oben gennanten Fehler beheben.
- bezüglich Simulink-Modell Vorbereitung für SIT: wie kann ich am besten auf Variablen oder Anschlüsse im Modell Zugriff haben. Und wann verwende ich SIT In/Out Blocks, was ist der Unterschied zwischen denen und den normalen In/Out Simulink Blocks. Nun konnte ich die "Table Data" Variable von der Look Up Tabelle Integer_to_kraft die sich im Subsystem Kommunikation befindet, in dem SIT Connection Manager nicht sehen. Wie kann ich sie mappen, falls es möglich ist.
- könnten Sie mir sagen wie Sie sich die Architektur von dem gesamten Projekt vorstellen:
ich sehe es jetzt so: Simulinkmodell in Form einer .out Datei auf meinem cRIO 9014 RT Target (die .out Datei kann ich schon erstellen), Kommunikation mit dem HostVI auf meinem Windows Computer mittels SIT 5.0, Kommunikation mit dem zu steuernden Gerät mittels CAN Modul NI 9853, und da sehe ich SIT CAN Mappings vor (davon habe ich noch kaum Ahnung).
Ist es so machbar, ich würde mich freuen auf intelligentere Ideen vor allem bezüglich CAN Kommunikation !
Ich danke Ihnen sehr herzlich im voraus !

LabVIEW Simulation Interface Toolkit with Fieldpoint 2010

Hi,
I'm using SIT 3.0.1 with Labview 7.1 and FP-2010 hardware. How can I configure my model.dll parameters to Hardware I/O of FP-2010 ? In SIT connection manager show only the I/O for NI-CAN, NI-DAQ and NI-FPGA.
Please help me. Thank you very much.

Hello,
NI-FieldPoint is not an option in the SIT Connection Manager. Therefore, it will not automatically generate code for the FieldPoint like it does for the other options.
You can, however, do this manually, and I suggest you take a look at this KnowledgeBase article.
I hope that this helps!

FieldPoint and simulation interface toolkitHi

Hi i'm trying to use cFP-2010 (with cfP-AIO-610 module) with simulation interface toolkit, in MAX i can see the FieldPoint and it's modules and i think it's all well configured.Well when i open the SIT i choose Real Time Target with the cFP ip and the port where the SIT server is running after i go on Hardware I/O and when i try to configure NI FPGA i do add device and it's return :"labview did not detect any FPGA devices installed in the specified RT target ,The default hardware type PXI-7831R will be used".Where is the error?
THX

Hello Freddino,
is the Simulation Interface toolkit installed on the RT target you are planning to use as SIT server (in your case the cFP 2010)? The following document lists all the necessary steps to do complete this operation:
Configuring a Real-Time Target to Run the LabVIEW Simulation Interface Toolkit 3.0.x Server
After have configured you RT target properly, it may be correctly listed unded "Hardware I/O" into the SIT connection manager.
Hope this helps,
