Learn more about OPC Toolbox   

Overview

The OPC Toolbox block library is a tool for sending data from your Simulink model to an OPC server, or querying an OPC server to receive live data into your model. You use blocks from the OPC Toolbox block library with blocks from other Simulink libraries to create models capable of sophisticated OPC server communications.

The OPC Toolbox block library requires Simulink, a tool for simulating dynamic systems. Simulink is a model definition environment. Use Simulink blocks to create a block diagram that represents the computations of your system or application. Simulink is also a model simulation environment. Run the block diagram to see how your system behaves. If you are new to Simulink, read Simulink Getting Started Guide to better understand its functionality.

The best way to learn about the OPC Toolbox block library is to see an example. Example: Reading and Writing Data from the Matrikon OPC Simulation Server provides a simple example. For more detailed information about the blocks in the OPC Toolbox block library, see Block Reference.
