Abstract

This paper discusses the automatic generation of controller codes through a model created in the MATLAB environment the aim of the research is to simplify the implementation and tuning of the closedloop circuit in industrial systems in this context, the concepts and steps outlined herein could produce a more intuitive and powerful alternative to the pre-defined software components of control systems that enable closed-loop control. We propose a methodology for identifying the system through an industrial control setup, creating a control loop model, and generating a code implementable in the control setup. Importantly, we also present and compare the results obtained with various variants of the automatically generated control circuit containing a pre-defined controller of the industrial control system. The outcomes of the research allow us to conclude that the implementations generated by the model perform better that the option using a built-in controller.
