System and method for functionalization in line with demand, for control and regulatory devices

A system for demand-based functionalization of a motor control unit comprising:

• 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 the at least one of the plurality of functional modules into the motor control unit, wherein the selecting is based on a demand and wherein the selective loading results in a flexibly customizable overall functionality of the motor control unit.

A method for a demand-based functionalization of motor control units comprising:

• selecting at least one of a plurality of functional modules stored on a first data store based on demand;
• taking the selected at least one functional module as a basis for creating a functional module archive;
• and
• loading the functional module archive into a motor control unit, wherein the selected at least one functional module and underlying functions are implemented in the motor control unit so that a flexible customization of the overall functionality of the motor control unit is performed through demand-based selection of the respective functional modules.
