Problem with Building tmc-file / tmx-file from Simulink Model to load into Twincat 3

After i installed the TE14xx Toolbox from Beckhoff, to compile a C++ - Code to represent my Simulink Model in Twincat3, i receive the following error Message.

All components that are required are installed. VS2019, test mode within Windows for signing the certificates and the drivers and of course the certificate that has been created. It looks like I am missing a toolset for compiling. What strange is that along with VS2019 I also have the latest MSVC v142 buildtools.

I think it is a very easy solution for this, but i cannot see it.

Is their a point where i have to link the compiler to matlab?

Were you able to solve this problem ?

Hi,

yes. I had a call with beckhoff. there is a bug, when you have the MSVC Version 14.2 2019 and VS 2019.

I installed VS2017 and also MSVC Version14.1 2017 and it works.

Hi,

I am not aware of any issues of our TwinCAT Targets with Visual Studio 2019. Maybe you missed to install the C++ develeopent kits with VS2019? You need to select those manually when installing VS2019. Also it is important to first install VS with C++ kit and then install TwinCAT 3. TwinCAT 3 creats platformtoolsets on top of the toolsets provided by the C++ kit. If they do not exist, TwinCAT does not install the TwinCAT platformtoolsets.

Anyway, I am happy to hear that you have a running developement system.

If further questions arise regading our TwinCAT Target for Simulink or TwinCAT Target for MATLAB, please don't hesitate to contact your local Beckhoff Support Team.

Thanks,

Fabian

Hi,

I had this issue with same messages

Warning: No appropriate platform toolset was found

ERROR: Unable to find compatible C++ platform toolset version.

I ran vs_installer.exe from "C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio\Installer"

To check my VS installation and if Visual C++ was correcty installed.

But two products was installed:

• Visual Studio build tools 2019
• Visual Studio Community 2019

This issue was solved after deinstalation of VS build tools
