Simcoder module
For automatic code generation
Generating C code from control schematic with the click of a button
The SimCoder Module provides the capability to with the click of a button, greatly reducing the
generate C code automatically from the control time of code development. Also, since the code is
schematic. generated automatically, it is consistent in quality,
and is less prone to errors.
In many applications, control algorithms are
implemented in microcontrollers/DSPs. Engineers Furthermore, together with one of PSIM’s hardware
are faced with the task of translating a control targets (such as F2833x Target or F2803x Target),
schematic into C code. This requires engineers with SimCoder can generate code that is ready to
good programming skills. Also, since hand written run on the specific target DSP hardware. The
code is prone to bugs and human errors, extensive ability to go from control schematic to hardware
testing is required. code generation provides a seamless integration
between simulation and hardware implementation,
Automatic code generation, on the other hand,
and greatly speeds up the development and
offers significant advantages over hand code
design process.
writing. After the control algorithm is verified in a
simulation, the C code is generated automatically
Features and Benefits
