1. An apparatus for facilitating a transfer of data from a source motor to a target motor, the apparatus comprising:

  • an electronic control system operatively connected to the source motor, wherein the electronic control system uses operational parameters to control the source motor, wherein the operational parameters are adapted to an operating environment of the source motor, and wherein each of the source motor and the target motor has a stator and a rotor;

    a data transfer interface configured to connect the apparatus to a motor memory system;

    a processor connected to the data transfer interface;

    a translation module comprising instructions executable by the processor to;

    determine that a source data model used by the source motor for storing operational parameters is different than a target data model used by the target motor, wherein the source data model used by the source motor is not compatible with the target data model used by the target motor; and

    convert a source data structure comprising at least one of the operational parameters used to control the source motor into a target data structure 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 the source data from the source data structure stored in a source motor memory system; and

    transfer the target data structure to the target motor;

    causing the target data structure to be stored in a motor memory system of the target motor such that an electronic control system of the target motor uses the operational parameters of the source motor to control the target motor, wherein the operational parameters are adapted to the operating environment of the source motor.
