Case Study: Siemens achieves streamlined code generation and faster commissioning of SINAMICS drives with MathWorks Simulink and Embedded Coder

Siemens Applies Model-Based Development and Commissioning for Industrial Assets

Siemens faced a challenge integrating its model-based design work with the engineering and commissioning tools used to deploy and tune plant assets. Using Simulink to model and simulate plant control and timing was constrained by commissioning workflows for Siemens SINAMICS drives, which limited parameter sweeps, optimization, and the overall model-based development approach.

MathWorks helped Siemens generate deployable code for SINAMICS targets using Simulink and Embedded Coder, enabling users to create model blocks and deploy them directly to commissioning tools with coder descriptors for better customization and maintainability. The MathWorks solution reduced time in code integration and builds, cut undetected errors that could cause costly mistakes, and lowered system downtime required for optimization.
