ModusToolbox to simplify motor control development

Infineon Technologies has launched a suite of software, tools and resources for developing, configuring and monitoring motor control applications using the triple core XMC7000 controller with PSoC support coming.

The Infineon ModusToolbox Motor Suite supports industrial, robotics, and consumer applications such as home appliances, HVAC, drones, and light electric vehicles.

The suite streamlines development and testing, providing real-time parameter monitoring for valuable insights into motor performance, efficiency, and reliability. This enables engineers to quickly identify issues, optimize designs, and enhance overall functionality.

It simplifies board setup and signal analysis and supports customized status monitoring with automatic detection and recognition of supported boards and kits, real-time visualization and monitoring of motor control related signals.

The Modus Toolbox Motor Suite also provides optimized system performance with pre-configured algorithms and real-time monitoring of critical system parameters. Additionally, the solution offers sophisticated algorithms that ensure control robustness across many motor types and applications. It currently includes out-of-the-box support for Infineon’s XMC7000 microcontrollers and will further expand its capability to include industrial MCUs, with PSOC Control integration confirmed for upcoming releases.

The Motor Suite also provides an integrated graphical user interface for motor control development and an easily adaptable, hardware-abstracted motor control core library.

“With the launch of ModusToolbox Motor Suite, we are empowering developers to create innovative motor control applications with ease and efficiency,” said Steve Tateosian, Senior Vice President of IoT and Industrial MCUs at Infineon. “By providing a comprehensive solution that expands the capabilities of our ModusToolbox ecosystem, we are giving developers the tools they need to focus on what matters most: building better products.”

Infineon will showcase a demo featuring the ModusToolbox Motor Suite at electronica 2024 in Munich from 12 to 15 November (Hall C3, Booth 502).

The ModusToolbox Motor Suite is now available for download.
