Abstract

A system for demand-based functionalization of a motor control unit comprises a motor control unit, a first data store having a plurality of functional modules each configured to perform one or more functions of the motor control unit and an access device configured to access the first data store and to select at least one of the plurality of functional modules and to load at least one of the plurality of functional modules into the motor control unit. The selection is based on a demand and the selective loading results in a flexibly customizable functionality of the motor control unit.
