First Claim
Patent Images
1. An apparatus for facilitating a transfer of data from a source motor to a target motor, the apparatus comprising:
- a data transfer interface configured to connect the apparatus to a motor memory device;
a processor connected to the data transfer interface;
a translation module comprising instructions executable by the processor to;
determine whether a source data model used by the source motor is compatible with a target data model used by the target motor; and
convert a source data structure into a target data structure compatible with the target data model when it is determined that the source data model is not compatible with the target data model; and
a data transfer module comprising instructions executable by the processor to;
receive the source data structure from the source motor;
generate the target data structure using the translation module; and
transfer the target data structure to the target motor.

Abstract
A method for transferring existing data from a source motor to a target motor includes retrieving the existing data from the source motor, optionally converting the existing data into a new format, and at least one of storing, erasing, writing, overwriting, or replacing software and/or data on the target motor such that the existing data is stored on the target motor in a format compatible with the target motor.

11. A system for transferring data between motors, the system comprising:
-
a source motor comprising; a source memory device storing source motor control software; a source motor electronic control system configured to execute the source motor control software on a source processor; and at least one source data structure stored in the source memory device; a target motor comprising; a target memory device storing target motor control software; and a target motor electronic control system configured to execute the target motor control software on a target processor; and a data transfer interface configured to receive the at least one source data structure from the source motor and transfer at least a portion of the at least one source data structure to the target motor. - View Dependent Claims (12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24)
