¶ Requirements
- RJ45/Ethernet port
- This guide is written for Windows, see Matlab compiler requirements
- Windows SDK 7 installed, for a guide, see here
When installing SDK7.1 on Windows 10 you will be greeted with some errors, see: 1, 2
Found a Windows10 specific guide on how to fix this here, here and here.
¶ Steps
-
Download and Install Matlab 2013b
-
Install compatible compiler (see above)
-
Install the xPC real-time libraries
-
Type
xpcexplrand create the 2 targets with the following settings:
This can also be done through code:
tgfree=xpctarget.xpc('TCPIP', '192.168.1.10', '22222'); tgbasis=xpctarget.xpc('TCPIP', '192.168.1.20', '22222');
-
Connect host PC to network switch inside of the Target PC.
-
Set you (windows) network settings:
Control Panel\Network and Internet\Network and Sharing Centre->Change Adapter Settings.- Right-click the relevant network connecting -->
Properties.... Under the Network tab, double-clickInternet Protocol Version 4 (TCP/IPv4). - Select Use the following IP adress:
- IP adress:
192.168.1.xx- replacexxwith an non-used number in the network (between 2 and 255). - Subnet mask:
255.255.255.0 - DNS settings don’t matter.
- IP adress:
- In matlab, open
xpcexplrand try to connect to the targets you created earlier. If this works, you have set up your connection.
