ETAS Appendix: The INCA Connector
To connect the INCA connector and M ATLAB /Simulink:
After copying is completed, the "Association with M ATLAB " window opens displaying M ATLAB /Simulink installations available on your system for selection. You can select one of them or search for an installation manually.
• Select one or more of the existing M ATLAB /Simulink installations.
• Click OK .
The INCA connector is associated with the selected installations.
Or
• Click Cancel .
The association is not established, the installation of the INCA connector is aborted.
With that, the installation is concluded. Click OK to confirm the message „Installation successfully finished“.
You can change the M ATLAB /Simulink version associated with the INCA connector later. To do so, select Associate with Matlab from the INCA connector folder of the Windows start menu.

Working with the INCA Connector
The INCA connector contains everything required for a successful back animation of Simulink models during an INCA experiment, i.e., the connector provides the INTECRIO targets irt.tlc
and ier.tlc
in Simulink. It does not contain
INTECRIO code generation functionality.

Working with the INCA connector consists of two steps. Fig. 9-1 shows the sche-

Fig. 9-1 Integration of INCA connector in INTECRIO
In the first step, the Simulink model and the INTECRIO prototype are created
("PC (Function Development)" in Fig. 9-1). The requirements for back animation
must be considered during creation.
These works are described in the INTECRIO documentation. Special hints for
modeling in Simulink can be found in sections 4.1 "M ATLAB® /Simulink ® Connec-
tivity" and 6.2 "Modeling with Simulink" of the INTECRIO user’s guide, as well
as section 5.9 "Lesson 8: Back Animation in M ATLAB® /Simulink ® " in the INTEC-
RIO Getting Started manual.
In the second step, the Simulink model (
*.mdl
) and the prototype (
*.a2l
and
*.a2l.cod
) are transferred to the PC used for the INCA experiment ("PC (Mea-
surement / Calibration)" in Fig. 9-1).
The way to start and perform the INCA/INCA-EIP experiment is described in the documentation of these tools. Here, only the Simulink back animation is mentioned.
To use the Simulink back animation:
1. In INCA
• Start the INCA experiment.
You can use the INCA instruments as usual.
2. In Simulink
• Open the measurement instruments you have prepared.
• Select
External
from the combo box in the toolbar.
The Connect to target button appears to the left of the combo box.

• Click Connect to target to establish the connection to the experimental target.
The measurement variables are displayed in the instruments.
• Calibrate the parameters as you normally do in
Simulink.
