xPC Target

RS-232 Simulink Block Reference

xPC Target supports RS-232 communication with driver blocks in your Simulink model and message structures in the MATLAB workspace.

This section includes the following topics:

• RS-232 Setup Block -- Sends the initialize and termination messages. You need one Setup block for each RS-232 port you use in your model.
• RS-232 Send/Receive Block (Synchronous) -- Sequences the send and receive messages for synchronous serial communication.
• RS-232 Send Block (Asynchronous) -- Sequences the send messages.
• RS-232 Receive Block (Asynchronous) -- Sequences the receive messages.
