1. A motor drive comprising:

  • electronic switching circuitry configured to perform power conversion;

    a plurality of monitored circuit components of the electronic switching circuitry configured to cooperate to generate output signals to facilitate powering an electric motor, wherein each of the plurality of monitored circuit components is configured to provide identification data identifying itself;

    memory circuitry of the electronic switching circuitry configured to store reference identification data representative of circuit components that should be present and operative in the motor drive; and

    power layer processing circuitry of the electronic switching circuitry configured to receive the identification data from each of the plurality of monitored circuit components, generate compiled identification data based on the received identification data, and compare the compiled identification data with the reference identification data, wherein the power layer processing circuitry provides an indication of whether the compiled identification data corresponds to the reference identification data to control operation of the motor drive.
