iMOTION™ starter kit for iMOTIONTM design platform
About this document
Scope and purpose
This application note provides an overview of the evaluation board iMOTION2go including its main features,
key technical data, pin assignments and mechanical dimensions.
iMOTION2go is a full motor-control system starter kit including an IMC101T-T038 controller, an inverter IPM and
a brushless direct current (BLDC) motor load, which provides a ready-to-use hardware setup for using the
iMOTIONTM design platform, MCEDesigner and MCEWizard. It also comprises other necessary
software/parameter configurations required for directly running a motor with the iMOTIONTM motor-tuning
tool, MCEDesigner, to evaluate all the features of the iMOTIONTM design ecosystem.
The IMOTION2go starter kit was developed to support customers during their first steps designing applications
with the iMOTIONTM design ecosystem. It also can be used by engineers to debug their script code.
The starter kit iMOTION2go is not intended to be used for real motor-control application designs such as
a home appliance and/or light industrial application field.
Intended audience
This application note is intended for all electrical engineers who are interested in evaluating Infineon iMOTION
motor-control products, in particular iMOTION tools and software. The iMOTION2go evaluation board is
intended to be used with a PC (plugged into the USB port of a PC) under no-load motor conditions.

Safety precautions
1Safety precautions
Please note the following warnings regarding hazards associated with development systems.
Table 1 Precautions
Caution: The iMOTION2GO system contains parts and assemblies sensitive to
electrostatic discharge (ESD). Electrostatic control precautions are required when
installing, testing, servicing or repairing the assembly. Component damage may result
if ESD control procedures are not followed. If you are not familiar with electrostatic
control procedures, refer to the applicable ESD protection handbooks and guidelines.
Caution: Bad handling or application errors such as touching the motor winding wire,
clamping the motor, bending the board, supplying an incorrect or inadequate DC
supply, or excessive ambient temperatures may result in system malfunction.
Caution: The iMOTION2GO system is designed for software tools learning and
practicing. It is not a hardware design reference for a power load. Operating with any
additional load may cause board malfunction or damage.

Introduction
2Introduction
The iMOTION2go starter kit is designed to present an easy-to-use motor drive solution based on Infineon's
iMOTIONTM controller and design platform. The board contains a USB interface, a DC/DC converter, an IMC
controller, an IPM, and a 3-phase BLDC motor.
The features of this board are described in the design feature chapter of this document, whereas the remaining
paragraphs provide information to help users to copy, modify and qualify the design for production according to
their own specific requirements.
The boards provided by Infineon are only subject to MCEDesigner & MCEWizard functional testing.
This board is intended to be used under no load conditions and only for purpose of evaluating iMOTION motor
control software and tools.
The block diagram of the iMOTION2go is depicted in Figure 1.

Getting started with iMOTION2go
6Getting started with iMOTION2go
The iMOTION2go is shipped with all software and parameters programmed. The motor on board will
automatically run by an embedded demo code once it is plugged into your computer USB socket, so don’t
touch the motor when you plug the board to the slot. The motor speed can be tuned via the RP1 with a
screwdriver. All files which are used for setting up this demo are available as .zip package at
www.infineon.com/imotion2go/software.
File list in this package:
1. IMC101T-T038_A_V1.02.20.ldf------------------------------------------------------MCE firmware code
2. iMOTION2go190904-Neweco2_Script.ldf---------------------------------------------------script code
3. iMOTION2go190904-Neweco2_IMC101T.map---------------------------------variable list in script
4. Test190904-Neweco2.txt--------------------------------------------------------------------parameter file
5. IMC101T_V1.02.20_iMOTION2go.irc-----------------------------------------MCEDesigner tuning file
The iMOTION™ software tools MCEDesigner and MCEWizard are required in order to study the design platform.
These tools are available for download via the Infineon website (http://www.infineon.com/imotion-software).
All supported tool and software versions are listed there. Please visit this page periodically to check for
tool/software updates.
Once the tools are installed, you can use themto check waveform/tune parameters/functioncontrol of this board
by. When the board is plugged into the board in the USB slot, the motor will automatically run, it is controlled by
the demo script code. To switch to be controlled by MCEDesigner, these steps are to be followed:
1. Start MCEDesigner and open the tuning file, IMC101T_V1.02.20_iMOTION2go.irc by clicking “File” > “Open”.
Figure 9 Open the tuning file(.irc)
2. MCEDesigner should automatically connect to the IMOTION2go evaluation board using default COM port
(indicated by green circle next to “COMx Up” status in the bottom frame of the MCEDesigner GUI). If it cannot
establish the connection, change COM port by doing the following: click on the “System” window and then
click on “Preferences”> “Connection”> “Connect using”, and choose one of the other available COM ports
from the drop-down list.
Figure 10 Connection to the board
3. In the “Motor” window, you can set register 'Script_Command' to '1' or '0' to switch the control by embedded
script code or by MCEDesigner. Before changing this setting user needs to stop the motor if it is running (klick
on red traffic light icon) and afterwards he needs to start it again (green traffic light icon) with new setting
active.
