Air-Fuel Ratio Control System with Stateflow Charts

Generate code for an air-fuel ratio control system designed with Simulink® and Stateflow®.

Figures 1, 2, and 3 show relevant portions of the sldemo_fuelsys model, a closed-loop system containing a plant and controller. The plant validates the controller in simulation early in the design cycle. In this example, you generate code for the relevant controller subsystem, "fuel_rate_control". Figure 1 shows the top-level simulation model.

Open and configure the sldemo_fuelsys model. Then, compile the model to see the signal data types.

model = 'sldemo_fuelsys';
open_system(model)
coder.example.configure(model,'ERT','float');
set_param(model,'ShowPortDataTypes','on');
set_param(model,'SampleTimeColors','on');
sldemo_fuelsys([],[],[],'compile');
sldemo_fuelsys([],[],[],'term');

Figure 1: Top-level model of the plant and controller

The air-fuel ratio control system is comprised of Simulink and Stateflow. The control system is the portion of the model for which you generate code.

open_system('sldemo_fuelsys/fuel_rate_control');

Figure 2: The air-fuel ratio controller subsystem

The control logic is a Stateflow chart that specifies the different modes of operation.

open_system('sldemo_fuelsys/fuel_rate_control/control_logic');

Configure and Build the Model with Embedded Coder

To configure and build production ANSI® C/C++ code for the model, set model configuration parameter System target file to ert.tlc (Embedded Real-Time (ERT)). You can set the System target file parameter programmatically.

coder.example.configure('sldemo_fuelsys','ERT');

Generate and inspect the code. You can navigate to the relevant code segments interactively by using Previous and Next buttons. From the chart context menu (right-click the Stateflow block), select C/C++ Code > Navigate to C/C++ Code. Programmatically, use the rtwtrace utility.

slbuild('sldemo_fuelsys/fuel_rate_control');
rtwtrace('sldemo_fuelsys/fuel_rate_control/control_logic')
