Finite State Machine Concepts

Model finite state machines by using Stateflow^® charts.

• Model Reactive Systems in Stateflow
• Overview of Stateflow Objects
• How Stateflow Objects Interact During Execution
• Specify Properties for Stateflow Charts

Represent Operating Modes by Using States

Create states to describe the operating modes of a reactive system.

• State Action Types
• Eliminate Redundant Code by Combining State Actions
• Record State Activity by Using History Junctions
• Monitor State Activity Through Active State Data

Transition Between Operating Modes

Use conditional transitions as pathways between states.

• Transition Action Types
• Default Transitions
• Inner Transitions
• Self-Loop Transitions

Connective Junctions

Create decision points between alternative transition paths.

Modeling Guidelines for Stateflow Charts

Efficiently model charts by using states, transitions, and events.

Rules for Naming Stateflow Objects

Create unique identifiers for your Stateflow objects.

Model an Assembly Line Feeder

Program a chart based on the operating modes of a feeder system.
