# OPAL-RT {#opal}

The communication between OPAL-RT models and the S2SS is established by using ansychronous programs.
Asynchronous programs are are a feature of RT-LAB. They are used to exchange data between Simulink models and custom C programs.

For this purpose the C program handels IP/UDP communication via BSD sockets.


## Arguments for OPAL-RT block

RT-LAB already provides a block to establish simple TCP/IP communication: ???
This block is based on a more generic block used for aynchronous programs: ???

@todo Insert name of RT-LAB blocks.
