ControlSuite or MotorWare

Other Parts Discussed in Thread: CONTROLSUITE, MOTORWARE

Hi everyone,

I am trying to understand the difference between using ControlSuite or MotorWare. The ControlSuite has a lot of examples for plenty of families, with direct register access and using the peripheral driver library MotorWare seems to use a HAL layer for the peripherals but I don't see many examples.

Now what is the difference? Is one an improvement from the other? I am trying to see which one I should start using. 

Hope you can help me.

  • Hi Luis,

    controlSuite is the mother suite for all peripheral drivers. motorware is additional to controlsuite with specific driver's for motor control & its dev kits.
    While starting with C2000 devices, even though one's interest might be in motor control -> he should first go through the controlSuite peripheral examples understand them and then try out the motorware examples.

  • Thank you Gautam,

  • Sure!

    Goodluck & Regards,
