MATLAB: How to receive data using UDP

data transferMATLABsimulinkudp

I am working on a project and want to use UDP protocol to transfer data from one simulink model to another. For now I want to try to see how to transfer a constant number using udp sender/receiver. Can anyone guide me through the steps needed to achieve this either on the same computer or on two different computers? I appreciate if one can describe for me the step by step procedure to transfer data using udp from one simulink model to another either on the same computer or two different computer.

Hi Kidus,

For transferring data over the UDP network using Simulink, it can be done on the same computer (even the same Simulink model) or on different machines.

Here is a link to an example on transferring data on the same computer:

Here is another example on target to host transmission using UDP with Simulink Real-Time:

MATLAB: What IP address should I use with xPC Target to connect the host and target computers using a TCP/IP crossover cable

To begin, use an unshielded twisted pair (UTP) cross-over cable with RJ45 connectors for direct connection between the host and target computers, and then use the following steps:

1) Enter the following command at the MATLAB command prompt on the host computer:

!ipconfig

2) Assign the target computer IP address to be 1 above the host PC IP address. For example, if IPCONFIG returns the IP address of "192.168.1.100", then enter an IP address of "192.168.1.101" for your target computer in the XPCSETUP GUI.

There are 2 ways to ensure host/target communication through TCP/IP:

1. In this case both the host and target are connected to the network through the UTP cable. In this case, the target must have a static IP address. Any computer on a network is assigned an IP address by the DHCP server at start-up. A static IP address means that a computer on a network always gets assigned the same IP address. This is to ensure that the host machine always communicates to the target machine. If a different machine on the network gets the target machine's IP address, the the host will end up pinging this machine rather than the target; it is for this reason that the target should have a static address in such a scenario.

2. Instead of being on a network, the host and target can be connected directly. For this, you will have to use a crossover UTP cable with RJ45 connectors . The host and target computers in this case should have static IP addresses Ensure that the cable used in this scenario is the cross over cable.

UTP cable refers to unshielded Twisted Pair cables. This is the most commonly used cable for Ethernet communication.
