MathWorks has announced that Simulink code generation targets have been built into Freescale's new Motor Control Development Toolbox through Embedded Coder. The toolbox, consisting of Simulink motor control blocks and target-ready code generation support, lets automotive and industrial controls engineers design motor control systems using Freescale microprocessors in IEC 61508 (SIL3) and ISO 26262 (ASIL-D) compliant systems.
Steve Pancoast, VP, Product Solutions, Automotive, Industrial & Multi-Market Solutions Group, Freescale said, "Our automotive and industrial automation processors are increasingly deployed by engineers who use Model-Based Design. The blocks in the Motor Control Development Toolbox represent years of motor control IP, and now with the toolbox, engineers can automatically implement, verify, and optimize their designs for Freescale’s newest processors."
Tom Erkkinen, Embedded Applications & Certification Manager, MathWorks said, "Customer reaction to the breadth and depth of the capabilities provided by the Motor Control Development Toolbox has been remarkable and serves as a testament to the strength of Freescale's investment and support of Model-Based Design."
The Motor Control Development Toolbox supports the MPC564xL, MPC567xK and PXS30 and PXS20 MCU families.
