Getting started with EVAL-M1-IM241

In order to run the motor system, a combination of the iMOTION™ MADK power board (EVAL-M1-IM241) and the
matching MADK control board (EVAL-M1-101T or other control board) are required. This chapter provides more
details on setting up the system and getting started with the iMOTION™ MADK development platform.
The EVAL-M1-IM241 evaluation boards are tested with EVAL-M1-101T controller boards, which shipped with
embedded firmware and default parameters.
The following steps have to be performed in order to achieve a usable motor controller IC from a blank IMC101T:
Programming of the motion control engine (MCE)

Programming of parameter sets for system and motor

Programming of customer scripts (optional)

Programming of the combined file for an integrated system (optional)

The iMOTION™ software tools, MCEDesigner and MCEWizard, are required to initially set up the system, as well
as to control and fine-tune the system performance to match the user's exact needs. These tools are available
for download via the Infineon website (Link). Please visit this page periodically to check for tool/software
updates.
iMOTION™ Link or on board USB-to-UART cable is needed to bridge the PC/debugger side and motor drive system
(the target iMOTION™ device, hot side) with 1 kV DC galvanic isolation.
This chapter provides more details on setting up the system and getting started with the iMOTION™ development
platform.
After downloading and installing the iMOTION™ PC tools, MCEWizard and MCEDesigner, the following steps need
to be taken to run the motor. Refer to MCEWizard and MCEDesigner documentation for more information.
