TCP-IP Compiling Problems

Hi everyone,

I am facing a problem that I don't even know if it is fixable.

I have created a function to communicate with a PLC and I am using tcp commands, such as this one:

t=tcpip(IP_str, Port_number, 'NetworkRole','server');,

where IP_str and Port_number are variables that define the IP and the port number of the PLC.

The problem comes up when I try to compile this function, becase the MATLAB Coder does not recognize tcp ip.

Do you know if there's anyway to compile a program with TCP IP commands?

Kind regards,

Eduardo

It looks like that the function "tcpip" will be removed in one of the future release.

Please try to use the below function :

Hi Darshan!

Thanks for you answer! As Waster mentioned below, the computer with MATLAB must be the server and therefore I cannot use the tcpclient instruction.

tcpclient() is for networkrole 'client', not 'server', and cannot be used to replace the 'server' role.

There is a File Exchange contribution for TCP that uses third-party code.

I have just seen this problem... As tcpip command does not support code generation I do not see any other way to do it...
