Motor Control Application Tuning (MCAT) Tool - Introduction

MCAT is a graphical tool for automatic calculation and real-time tuning of selected motor control structure parameters. MCAT can be used with fixed or floating point 16- or 32-bit data so can be used for MPC5xxx Microcontrollers, Kinetis Microcontrollers, Digital Signal Controllers, and The specified item was not found.. It also acts as a plug-in tool for Freemaster which allows real-time monitoring, tuning and parameter updating in a target application.

This Tool is a HMTL-based user-friendly graphical plug-in tool for NXP's FreeMASTER. It is intended for the development of PMSM FOC applications, real-time control structure parameter tuning, and will aid motor control users in adapting our MC solutions to their motors without a detailed knowledge of PI controller constant calculations.


  • Up to three motor application support with independent access to each motor
  • Utilizing a pole placement method for control parameter estimation
  • Real-time tuning and updating of control parameters
  • Preview of the static configuration of tuned parameters
  • Generic output file with static configuration of tuned parameters
  • Plug-in tool for FreeMASTER, not available as a standalone tool
  • Offers basic and expert tuning mode
  • Modular S/W concept, easy configurable
