Hello,

I understand that you are asking whether the code generated by Simulink PLC Coder supports ControlLogix PLCs only or CompactLogix PLC as well.

The answer is that Simulink PLC Coder generates code for both RSLogix5000 IDEs and Studio5000 IDEs. Bot these IDEs can be used to program CompactLogix and ControlLogix PLCs. The IDE to use depends on the firmware version of the PLCs. For example, if the CompactLogix PLC has firmware version 32, you will generate code for the Studio5000 IDE. If the ControlLogix PLC has firmware version 22, you will generate code for the RSLogix5000 IDE.
