Hi pratyush, I have read the link and have also tried it, but I am still unable to retrieve the library data for the ladder diagrams, are there anything that i am missing to get this right?

Hi Jai,

Can you share the files and the corresponding error messages that you are getting on your end so that we can reproduce the issue on our end?

Thanks!

Hi Roy,

please refer to the attachment, it shows that the PLC ladder is not found, am i missing something? or how do i download the plc ladder codes into the system.

Thank you.

Hi Jai,

Instead of looking for the library in the Simulink Library Browser, you can try typing plcladderlib in the Command Window and that will open the library for you. Here's the command that you can try out:

>> plcladderlib

Hope this helps!
