MOTEON TraceBox
The MOTEON TraceBox is a versatile data acquisition and communication tool used for validating motor control software. It simplifies the process by enabling easy setup and direct testing with real target hardware, providing a user-friendly interface for control and data acquisition.
Simplified Motor Control Software Validation
In the early phase of software development, tests on real hardware can reveal unexpected errors.
During the initial stages of software development, the discovery of unforeseen errors is common when testing on actual hardware. Nonetheless, the extensive setup involved often results in the software being primarily tested using simulators. The TraceBox serves as a flexible data acquisition and communication tool specifically designed for validating and developing motor control (MCTRL) software, offering compatibility with real target hardware. This enables comprehensive testing and validation procedures for enhanced software reliability.
The MOTEON TraceBox will make life easier for many developers: extensive testing possibilities already in an early phase of software development accelerate the development process and improve product quality
High connectivity and plug & play
The TraceBox is a versatile data acquisition and communication tool for the development and validation of motor control software that can be used in conjunction with real target hardware. The TraceBox is connected between the customer application and the PC and establishes the required interface via plug & play and controls the device with the user-friendly PC tools. The high connectivity with various interfaces (e.g. LIN, CAN FD, RS232, EtherCat) offers the possibility to use the device standalone as part of an on-desk developer setup or embedded in a test bench environment.
