    This document provides instructions on how to build a simple stateflow model in Simulink using Matlab release 2011b. It describes creating a model with two states ("Power_on" and "Power_off") connected by transitions triggered by a "Switch" event from a sine wave input. The model toggles a power switch on and off at the rising edges of the sine wave and increments a counter each time.

    How

    to Build a Simple Stateow


    Model
    Jim Freudenberg
    University of Michigan
    EECS 461: Embedded Control Systems
    IntroducFon
    This set of slides will show you how build a simple model using Simulink
    and Stateow.

    We will use 32-bit Matlab release 2011b, the same version of Matlab as
    currently used in the EECS 461 Embedded Control Lab.

    InstrucFons for installing 32-bit Matlab 2011b on your laptop are
    contained in the Course LogisFcs document on CTools

    Recently Matlab has changed from models with a .mdl sux
    to models with a .slx sux. (The underlying soWware is dierent, and enables
    addiFonal features.)

    If you insist on using a more recent version of Matlab, and you want me to
    examine your model for debugging, then you should save your model as a .mdl le
    In Matlab 2011b. Look for a save as command, or perhaps an export command.
    (Dierent versions of Matlab do this dierently.)
    Power Switch Simulink Model
    Simulink model of a power
    switch that toggles on and o
    at zero crossing of a sine input.

    At each switch, a counter is
    incremented


    Inside the State Chart
    Two states of the power
    switch: on and o
    TransiFons between the
    States happen whenever the event
    switch occurs.
    When a transiFon occurs, the
    variable counter is incremented
    By default, the iniFal state
    is o
    To Run SimulaFon

    Open Scope by clicking on it


    Run simulaFon by selecFng start
    from the SimulaFon menu






    If the Scope does not display the enFre sine
    waveform, go to the Scope parameters menu,
    navigate to the History submenu, and turn o
    the Limit data points opFon.

    Change the size or colors of the plo`ed lines
    using the Graphics submenu


    Create Simulink Model
    Create a new Simulink model by selecFng File/New/Model
    in the Matlab command window.
    Save the model with a name, e.g. my_switch
    In the View Menu, select Library Browser and navigate down to Stateow



    Add Statechart to Simulink Model
    Drag Statechart to the Simulink model
    Change name from Chart to On_o


    Adding States to a Statechart
    Open Statechart On_o by double-clicking
    Drag two states from the menu at leW into the chart.
    Name them Power_on and Power_o by ediFng the ? In the upper leW corner
    NOTE: to delete a state, highlight it and select Cut from the Edit menu


    CreaFng TransiFons between States

    To create a transiFon between states, hold the cursor over the border of
    the starFng state it will turn into crosshairs.
    Hold down the mouse bu`on drag the mouse to the terminal state this
    will create a transiFon (denoted by an arrow) connecFng the states
    Click on the transiFon and replace the resulFng ? with the name of the event
    that causes the transiFon.

    Add a Default TransiFon

    Specify the iniFal state (Power_o in this case) by adding a default transiFon

    Adding an Event
    Add an event that is Input from Simulink
    A window will open allowing you to name the event (call it Switch), and to
    specify what triggers the event. In our case, use rising edges of a sine wave.
    If you add mulFple events input from Simulink, the Port menu will have more than opFon.
    The Model Explorer
    Open the Model Explorer by selecFng the Tools/Explore opFon from the Statechart menu
    This menu allows you to edit the event you have just dened, and to add new events
    On a small screen, you may need to scroll the menu leW and right to see the Trigger opFon
    Adding the Sine Input
    Return to the top-level Simulink diagram
    The Statechart On-o now has an arrow entering it.
    Add a Sine Wave input from the View/Library Browser/Sources menu
    Add a Scope from the View/Library Browser/Sinks menu
    Use the mouse to connect these blocks.
    Double click on the Sine Wave block and specify the
    parameters as shown.
    ConguraFon Parameters
    From the Simulink model my_switch, select SimulaFon/ConguraFon Parameters/Solver
    Specify Start Fme = 0; Stop Fme = 100; Fixed Step Solver with Step size 0.001;
    Use a discrete solver since we only have states that take discrete values (on or o)
    Apply the changes and close the window.
    Running the SimulaFon
    Execute the simulaFon by selecFng SimulaFon/Start
    The state changes from Power_on to Power_o at each rising zero crossing
    of the sine wave.
    CounFng TransiFons
    Add data that is Output to Simulink
    A window will open allowing you to name the data (call it counter), and to
    specify its data type: leave it set to the default double.
    Leave iniFal value blank to use the default value of zero
    Increment the Counter
    Increment the counter every Fme the event Switch occurs by placing counter++
    in curly braces following each occurrence of Switch
    Dont forget to use a semicolon to prevent the value of counter from being printed to the
    screen each Fme it is incremented.
    Count the TransiFons
    Add a display block from the View/Library Browser/Sinks menu
    Toggle a Bit
    Add a new data variable light: iniFal value 0, data type double
    Set light = 0; in the Power_o state
    Set light = 1; in the Power_on state
    Change Port Values
    The output light is assigned port 2 by default
    To connect it to the scope requires signal
    ow lines to cross bad modeling pracFce.
    To make model more readable, change
    port value for light from 2 to 1
    Note port value for counter is now 2
    Display a Square Wave
    Connect the output light to the scope
    used to display the sine wave using
    a Mux block from the
    Library Browser/Signal RouFng Menu

    Running the simulaFon shows a square wave


    that toggles between 0 and 1 at rising zero
    crossings of the sine wave

    To make thicker lines on the plots,
    double-click the Scope. In the
    Parameters/Graphics menu, set linewidths to 2.
