The powerful quad-core processor enables fast execution of sophisticated Simulink models. In addition, the MicroLabBox II offers a freely programmable FPGA for even faster control loops or sophisticated and high-precision simulation models, for example, for the simulation of electric motors. Comprehensive I/O interfaces fulfill all requirements from developers who want to prototype algorithms. With the dSPACE experiment software ControlDesk, users can access model signals for visualization and measurement purposes and change model parameters.

More than 100 I/O channels of various types make the MicroLabBox II a versatile system that can be implemented not only in mechatronic research and development fields, but also for controller development for electric drives. Further fields of use are the development of power electronics, renewable energies, aerospace, robotics, or medical engineering. In addition to this, the MicroLabBox II can also be used as a simple and quickly deployable HIL system for ECU tests.

For E-Mobility applications, dSPACE offers a comprehensive set of ready-to-use functions for processor-based e-motor control applications including field-oriented control with support for sine-, hall-, incremental encoders or resolvers.

Libraries for FPGA based e-motor control applications that allow to reach even faster turn-around times are also available.

For hardware-in-the-loop applications, dSPACE also provides libraries for processor-based and FPGA-based e-motor and power electronics simulation.
