Infineon Technologies has launched the ModusToolbox Motor Suite, a comprehensive solution of software, tools and resources for developing, configuring and monitoring motor control applications.

Versatile and suitable for use across motor types, the solution enables developers to bring high-performance motor control applications to market more quickly and efficiently. The suite supports industrial, robotics, and consumer applications such as home appliances, HVAC, drones, and light electric vehicles.

“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.”

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, optimise designs, and enhance overall functionality.

It also offers simpler and more accurate board setup, comprehensive signal analysis, and customised status monitoring.

ModusToolbox Motor Suite features automatic detection and recognition of supported boards and kits, real-time visualization and monitoring of motor control related signals. It also provides optimised 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 PSOCs Control integration confirmed for upcoming releases.

In addition to its comprehensive feature set, the ModusToolbox Motor Suite is designed to be highly versatile and easy to use. It provides a graphical user interface for motor control development and an easily adaptable, hardware-abstracted motor control core library.
