Configure Model Elements with Service Interface Definitions for Code Generation

R2026b

In service-oriented architecture (SOA), components in the code generated from the model rely on platform-managed services including communication between components, and measuring signals and parameter. These services are functions that model elements call during execution of the generated code. Before generating code, configure each model element with service interface definitions to control how the code uses these services. This configuration process is called mapping.

Service Mappings Categories

There are six categories of platform-provided services, each designed to serve specific types of model elements. You configure each model element with service interface definitions for a service from the appropriate category.
