Abstract
This paper deals with the development procedures of a HiL
(Hardware-in-the-Loop) test bench for verification and
validation purposes of embedded application software
developed using MBD (Model Based Design) engineering
methodology. The testing environment have been mainly
developed for PLC (Programmable Logic Controller)
applications using Matlab®/Simulink® as a simulation
environment and the OPC DA (OLE for Process Control
Data Access) specification as communication interface for
data interchange with the OPC compliant (set as working
condition) target hardware. The main focus of this work was
to offer a tool or an instrument to end user or test engineer
that helps testing auto- generated embedded software while
running on target system and making decision and
statements about correct functionality and performance with
regard to main requirements in order to validate the
intended mission of the application aimed to reach.
