Generated Code Structure for PLC_RemoveSSStep

The example shows you how to enable the PLC_RemoveSSStep option for your model, generate code and display the comparison between code generated with the PLC_RemoveSSStep option enabled and then disabled.

1. Open the UsePLC_RemoveSSStepforDistributedCode GenerationExample example:

   openExample('plccoder/UseRemoveSSStepForDistributedCodeGenerationExample')

   .

2. Copy all the model files to a folder of your choice.

3. Open the mSystemIntegration model.

4. Open the Simulink PLC Coder app, and then select the Subsystem1 block.

5. Click Settings. Navigate to PLC Code Generation > Identifiers. Select the Keep top level ssMethod name same as non-top level check box.

6. Click OK.

7. Click Generate PLC Code.

8. Select the Subsystem1 block.

9. Click Settings. Navigate to PLC Code Generation > Identifiers. Clear the Keep top level ssMethod name same as non-top level check box.

10. Click Generate PLC Code.

This image shows a comparison between the code generated with PLC_RemoveSSStep enabled, and then disabled. Removing SS_STEP enables easier external code integration of the different subsystems because they all the same ssMethodType.
