5.1 Conversion Procedure

Reference ModelFigure 5-1 Reference Model
  1. In the top-level model, right-click the current control subsystem block
  2. Select Subsystem → Convert to → Referenced Model
    1. Click convert the model, Model Advisor shows a successful conversion message
      Conversion StepFigure 5-2 Conversion Step
  3. Simulink creates a new, separate model file containing exclusively the current control algorithm contents
  4. The original subsystem in the top-level model is automatically replaced by a model reference block pointing to the newly created model. Rename the top model to avoid conflict with reference example model.
  5. Verify that the top-level model simulates correctly after conversion, the numerical results must remain identical to the pre-conversion baseline

The top-level FOC system continues to run entirely on the Simulink host. Only the current control Model Reference block is deployed to the AM13x during PIL execution.
