Ethernet Receive

Receive Ethernet packets from Simulink Real-Time target computer

Since R2022a

• 

Libraries:
Simulink Real-Time / IP / Ethernet

Description

The Ethernet Receive block enables you to receive Ethernet packets on a Simulink^® Real-Time™ target computer. The block receives the packet from the Ethernet interface (device) that you select on the target computer.

Examples

Apply 802.1Q VLAN Tag by Using Ethernet Send and Receive Blocks

Use Ethernet blocks to send and receive Ethernet packets.

Ports

Output

Data — Outport for Ethernet packet

Simulink message

Connect the Ethernet packet signal from this port to the model. If you enable the Enable Simulink messages parameter, the data type is Ethernet_Packet. This data type consists of:

• Data: DataType: uint8, Complexity: real, Dimensions: [64 1]

• Length: DataType: uint8, Complexity: real, Dimensions: 1

Data Types: uint8 | Ethernet_Packet

Length — Number of bytes received

double

This port is available when you disable the Enable Simulink messages parameter. The Length is the number of bytes in the new packet received, otherwise it is 0.

Data Types: double

Parameters

Interface Name — Target computer Ethernet interface name

wm0 | wm1 | character vector

The Interface Name is the name of the target computer Ethernet interface. Use the Speedgoat Ethernet Configuration Tool to identify the Ethernet index (interface) on the target computer.

Programmatic Use

Block Parameter: InterfaceName

Data Width — Data port width in bytes

64 (default) | integer

The Data Width is the width of the Data port in bytes. Ethernet packets that are shorter than this width are padded with zeros.

Programmatic Use

Block Parameter: DataWidth

Enable Simulink messages — Data as messages

off (default) | on

The Enable Simulink messages directs the block to treat data as messages. When enabled, the Length port is removed.

Programmatic Use

Block Parameter: MessageOut

Maximum messages in a time step — Limit packets per time step

1 (default) | integer

The Maximum messages in a time step selects the maximum number of packets that the block outputs for each time step.

Programmatic Use

Block Parameter: MaxMessagesPerStep

Capture filter — Filter on received packets

character vector

The Capture filter selects which packets to receive. If no filter is provided, all packets are received. For information about capture filter syntax, see the Expressions section in the tcpdump page in the QNX Neutrino documentation. This example filter captures packets that are addressed to destination port 9001.

dst port 9001

Programmatic Use

Block Parameter: FilterString

Sample Time — Sample time of block

-1 (default) | numeric

Enter the base sample time or a multiple of the base sample time. -1 means that sample time is inherited.

Programmatic Use

Block Parameter: SampleTime
