Use below code in embedded matlab function block. It will give the date and time components as separate output.

 

function [Y, M, D, H, MN, S] = fcn()
   eml.extrinsic('now');
   eml.extrinsic('datevec');
   Y = 0;
   M = 0;
   D = 0;
   H = 0;
   MN = 0;
   S = 0;
   [Y, M, D, H, MN, S] = datevec(now);
end
