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:

How Can I Resolve MATLAB® script node and
Xmath Script Node Issues in LabVIEW?
Hope this helps!

  • 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:
    <<<

    The simulation file sinewave.out couldn't be found in the expected paths. Please FTP the file manually to your Real-Time system.

    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!

    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?

  • 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.

  • 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 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
    Best regards

    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.

    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

    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).

    Mouath,
    There is no feature in LabVIEW to export your VIs as VHDL files. You are able to include your own HDL in your LabVIEW VI (using the HDL node). I encourage you to provide your feedback related to this issue at ni.com/contact. The product suggestion submitted are taken seriously and reviewed by National Instruments.

  • How to exclude the manually create SAP PO from MRP Run?

    Dear all
    There is this situation that due to the long procurement lead time, certain PO is created manually in SAP in advance based on the sales order enquiry made by customer. (In normal case, we will create a sales order in SAP and then run MRP to create PR to converted to PO)
    Most of the time, customer will confirm their enquiry so that we can create sales Order in SAP and this will make it just in time for our raw material to arrive. However, when the PO is created in advance without triggered by MRP caused by Sales Order, this PO booked quantity is often taken up by the consideration of MRP RUN by other sales order. And if later customer confirms their enquiry and there is no PO stock for this due to this stock is already considered by other sales order.
    Is there a way that I can exclude the manually create SAP PO from MRP Run?
    Please advise.

    Dear Csaba Szommer
    Thanks for your reply.
    Sorry for confusing you.
    1. We are in a MAKE TO ORDER (MTO) environment.
    2. There is this situation that due to the long procurement lead time, certain PO is created manually in SAP in advance based on
        the sales order enquiry made by customer. (In normal case, we will create a sales order in SAP and then run MRP to create
        PR to converted to PO).
    3. Most of the time, customer ABCwill confirm their enquiry so that we can create sales Order in SAP and this will make it just in
        time for our raw material to arrive.
    4. However, for the PO that is created in advance (not created by PR  triggered by MRP caused by Sales Order), this PO 
        On Order Quantity is often taken up by the consideration of MRP RUN by other sales orders.
    5. It creates problem that if later this customer ABC confirms his enquiry and we create SAP Sales Order in the system, the
        stock of PO created previously is already  eaten up by other sales orders.
    We are using MTO and do not use Forecast. And MTO Strategy is set at the material master level and as such I do not think we can simply modify the MRP Strategy to suit this unique case, as for the very same material, in one PO it should be considered by MRP but in another PO, it should be excluded from MRP Run.
    Is there a way that I can exclude the manually create SAP PO (for the case of Customer ABC email enquiry without creating Sales Order in the System first) from MRP Run?

    The system exec function is on the Communication palette. Its for executing system commands. On my Win2K system, the help for FTP is:
    "Ftp
    Transfers files to and from a computer running an FTP server service (sometimes called a daemon). Ftp can be used interactively. Click ftp commands in the Related Topics list for a description of available ftp subcommands. This command is available only if the TCP/IP protocol has been installed. Ftp is a service, that, once started, creates a sub-environment in which you can use ftp commands, and from which you can return to the Windows 2000 command prompt by typing the quit subcommand. When the ftp sub-environment is running, it is indicated by the ftp command prompt.
    ftp [-v] [-n] [-i] [-d] [-g]
    [-s:filename] [-a] [-w:windowsize] [computer]
    Parameters
    -v
    Suppresses display of remote server responses.
    -n
    Suppresses autologin upon initial connection.
    -i
    Turns off interactive prompting during multiple file transfers.
    -d
    Enables debugging, displaying all ftp commands passed between the client and server.
    -g
    Disables file name globbing, which permits the use of wildcard characters (* and ?) in local file and path names. (See the glob command in the online Command Reference.)
    -s:filename
    Specifies a text file containing ftp commands; the commands automatically run after ftp starts. No spaces are allowed in this parameter. Use this switch instead of redirection (>).
    -a

    -w:windowsize
    Overrides the default transfer buffer size of 4096.
    computer
    Specifies the computer name or IP address of the remote computer to connect to. The computer, if specified, must be the last paramete
    r on the line."
    I use tftp all of the time to transfer files in a similar manner. Test the transfer from the Windows command line and copy it into a VI. Pass the command line to system exec and wait until it's done.
