Manage user preferences

Syntax

plccoderpref

plccoderpref('plctargetide')

plccoderpref('plctargetide', preference_value )

plccoderpref('plctargetide', 'default')

plccoderpref('plctargetidepaths')

plccoderpref('plctargetidepaths','default')

plccoderpref('plctargetlist')

plccoderpref('plctargetlist',targetlist)

Description

plccoderpref displays the current set of user preferences, including the default target IDE.

plccoderpref('plctargetide') returns the current default target IDE. This default can be the target IDE set previously, or the factory default. The factory default is 'codesys23'.

plccoderpref('plctargetide', preference_value ) sets the default target IDE to the one that you specify in preference_value. This command sets the preference_value to persist as the default target IDE for future MATLAB^® sessions.

plccoderpref('plctargetide', 'default') sets the default target IDE to the factory default target IDE ('codesys23').

plccoderpref('plctargetidepaths') returns a 1-by-1 structure of the installation paths of supported target IDEs.

plccoderpref('plctargetidepaths','default') sets the contents of the 1-by-1 structure of the installation paths to the default values.

plccoderpref('plctargetlist') displays the target IDEs that appear in the reduced Target IDE list in the Simulink^® Configuration Parameters dialog box. For more information, see Target IDE and Show Full Target List.

plccoderpref('plctargetlist',targetlist) sets the target IDEs that appear in the reduced Target IDE list to the values that you specify in targetlist.

Examples

Return Current Default Target IDE

plccoderpref('plctargetide')

ans =

    'codesys35'

Set rslogix5000 as New Default Target IDE

plccoderpref('plctargetide', 'rslogix5000')

ans = 
'rslogix5000'

See Installation Paths of Supported Target IDEs

Assume that you have previously changed the installation path of the CoDeSys 2.3 target IDE. Return the current target IDE installation paths.

Customize Reduced Target IDE List

If you disable Show full target list, the drop down for Target IDE shows only a subset of the supported IDEs. Customize this reduced list to contain only the IDEs CoDeSys 2.3 and Rockwell Automation RSLogix 5000 Series for AOI format.

targetlist = {'codesys23','rslogix5000'};
plccoderpref('plctargetlist',targetlist)

ans = 1×2 cell
    {'codesys23'}    {'rslogix5000'}

Reset Reduced Target IDE List

Reset the reduced Target IDE list to the default subset.

plccoderpref('plctargetlist','default')

ans =

  1×6 cell array

    {'codesys35'}    {'studio5000'}    {'tiaportal_double'}    {'schneider'}    {'omron'}    {'gxworks3'}

Append Another IDE to Default Reduced Target IDE List

Append the IDE CoDeSys 2.3 to the default reduced Target IDE list.

plccoderpref('plctargetlist', [plccoderpref('plctargetlist', 'default') 'codesys23'])

ans =
  1×7 cell array
    {'codesys35'}    {'studio5000'}    {'tiaportal_double'}    {'schneider'}    {'omron'}    {'gxworks3'}    {'codesys23'}

plctargetlist — List of your target IDEs

cell array of string

Cell array of strings. Each string specifies a target IDE. You can specify any target IDE that is available for the plctargetide argument.
