Remote address for Simulink TCP/IP block as parameter/variable from workspace?

Hi,

The parameters/variables for other blocks are set with a m-file with a callback when opening the Simulink model. The TCP/IP block seem to treat the "remote address" as IP or URL. Is it possible to set the remote address for a TCP/IP block in Simulink with a variable from workspace?

Thanks.

regards

Hi Wilfried,

You can set the “Remote Address” parameter of the TCP/IP Block from a MATLAB script in the following way.

blockPath = 'myModel/TCP//IP Send'
% Get the block handle

blockHandle = getSimulinkBlockHandle(blockPath);

set_param(blockHandle,"Host",'1.1.1.1');

The command line parameter for “Remote Address” is “Host” as described in the documentation here.
