Method and system for programming a motor controller
First Claim
1. A method for programming a motor controller where an operator before start-up of the motor controller generates a configuration file which is sent to the motor controller characterized in that the operator via a user interface interactively generates the configuration file on an Internet server and then downloads the configuration file to the motor controller, and where the Internet server contains the following elements:
- A) an interactive programming software for the selection of configuration parameters B) a database containing data about motor controllers C) a compiler which generates the configuration file from selected configuration parameters and relevant data about motor controllers D) a transmitter unit for sending the configuration file via the Internet

Abstract
The invention relates to the programming of a motor controller by means of a configuration file which is sent to the motor controller. The configuration file is typically sent from a PC, but with this invention it is now possible to generate and to download the file directly to the motor controller from an Internet server. The Internet server is provided by the manufacturer of the motor controller and contains an interactive programming software, a motor controller database, a compiler and a transmitter unit. The invention makes up-dating and maintenance of the motor controller software quicker and easier as known so far.
