MOTEON TraceBox

The easy way of validating motor control software

Already at the beginning of software development, tests on the real hardware can reveal unexpected errors. However, the high setup effort usually prevents this and in most cases the software is only tested with simulators. With the TraceBox, MOTEON introduces a versatile data acquisition and communication tool for the development and validation of engine control software - it can be used in conjunction with real target hardware. Connected between customer application and PC, the TraceBox establishes the desired interface via Plug & Play and controls the device with the user-friendly PC tools.

 

MOTEON TraceBox

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.

High connectivity

  • High level communication and MCTRL real time data tracing
  • Data streaming via SPI/UART optimized for low cost microcontroller
  • Target communication with various application protocols and interfaces (LIN, CAN FD, RS232)
  • Flashing and debugging via SWD (XMCTM Link functionality)
  • Time synchronization via EtherCAT in embedded test environments

TraceBox as an interface between hard- & software

Identification of issues throughout the entire development phase

The early identification of issues is crucial to reduce development costs and maintain the
project schedule. The TraceBox is a tool to identify issues with minimal effort. Flash and
debug your motor control software with the integrated XMCTM Link without disconnecting
and re-connecting the device under test (DUT).


Verification of motor control algorithms & signal analysis

Data streaming via SPI/UART optimized for low cost microcontrollers (e.g. Infineon
TLE987x) enables you to verify your motor control algorithms by tracing the
microcontroller internal data while the motor is running.


Validation of software adaptions in the ongoing development process

Software validation is a complex procedure that can be time-consuming due to the various
settings of your motor control software. The TraceBox allows an in-depth analysis of the
functionality of software adjustments. Change your motor control parameters and validate
the system behavior in real time. No re-flashing required.


Direct implementation in the installed, application-oriented state

Based on the high connectivity and plug & play principle, the TraceBox can be used as a standalone
device as part of a desktop developer setup as well as embedded in a test bench environment.

The TraceBox is connected between the PC and the device under test (DUT). Setup the
needed interface via plug & play and control the device with the user-friendly PC tools.
