1. A system comprising:
- a motor controller communicatively coupled to an electric motor, said motor controller comprising;
a processing device configured to;
control the electric motor;
collect operating information from the electric motor during operation of the electric motor;
temporarily store the operating information; and
identify a motor controller failure; and
a memory device communicatively coupled to said processing device, said memory device configured to receive and store the operating information collected during operation of the electric motor upon said processing device identifying the motor controller failure; and
a computing device communicatively coupled to said motor controller, said computing device configured to communicate with said motor controller to receive the stored operating information for display to a user.

Abstract
A unit for recording operating information of an electronically commutated motor (ECM) is described. The unit includes a system controller communicatively coupled to an ECM. The system controller includes a processing device configured to control the unit. The unit also includes a memory device communicatively coupled to the system controller. The memory device is configured to receive and store ECM operating information provided by the processing device.

13. A method of recording operating information of a motor, said method comprising:
-
collecting, by a processing device of a motor controller communicatively coupled to the motor, operating information of the motor during motor operation; temporarily storing, by the processing device, the operating information; identifying, by the processing device, a motor controller failure; storing, by a memory device communicatively coupled to the processing device, the operating information collected by the processing device upon the identifying of the motor controller failure; and transmitting, by the processing device, the operating information to a computing device communicatively coupled to the motor controller for display to a user. - View Dependent Claims (14, 15, 16, 17, 18)
