Stateflow autocoder

In a large-scale control system, the health monitoring subsystem could produce hundreds to thousands of system inputs. Using Matlab´s Stateflow to implement supervisory logic that could interpret sensor or actuator failures allows for a hybrid control system to be developed and simulated. The manual creation of a Stateflow chart for use in a Simulink simulation of a large-scale guidance and control system is a tedious and time-consuming process. The Stateflow Autocoder is a Matlab based software tool for the automatic generation of a Stateflow chart from information contained in a database. Managing the parameters and elements of a simulation via a database presents an opportunity to efficiently create or modify a simulation model by only changing information that is contained within the database. This paper describes the auto-generation of a Stateflow chart that is required to manage a simulation from a database.
