MATLAB and Simulink are technical computing environments used for modeling, simulation, and analysis. This document provides an overview of new features, including improved support for parallel computing, image processing, code generation for embedded systems, and links to hardware devices and other tools. Training courses and workshops in 2010 will cover topics such as signal processing, control design, and links to DSP hardware.

16. New product: Simulink PLC
Coder
What does it do?
It makes it easy for somebody to generate
structured text (PLC code) from Simulink
models
Why is PLC code generation important?
PLC’s (Programmable Logic Controller) are heavily used in industrial
machines, and in the IA&M industry in general. Some PLCs can use C
code, but the majority do not
Code generation is key value driver for adopting Model-Based Design
