1. A system comprising:
- a controller for controlling and monitoring operation of a compressor, said controller including a processor and a first non-volatile memory;
a second non-volatile memory accessible to said processor of said controller and embedded within a connector block attached to a shell of said compressor, said connector block having at least one power lead that extends from an exterior side of said connector block, through said connector block, to an interior side of said connector block to allow an electrical connection between an interior of said compressor on said interior side of said connector block and an exterior of said compressor on said exterior side of said connector block, said connector block maintaining a hermetic seal of said compressor while electric power is delivered to said interior of said compressor, said controller being attached to said connector block.

Abstract
A compressor memory system includes a compressor with a first non-volatile memory connected to a module. The module has a processor and a second non-volatile memory. The first non-volatile memory is associated with the compressor. The module is selectively attached to the compressor and the processor is configured to access the first and second non-volatile memories.

12. A system comprising:
-
a controller for controlling and monitoring operation of a compressor, said controller including a processor and a first non-volatile memory located within a controller housing attached to a shell of said compressor; a second non-volatile memory accessible to said processor of said controller and mounted in a tamper-resistant location attached to said compressor, said tamper-resistant location being outside an interior volume defined by said shell of said compressor and outside said controller housing, said processor accessing said first and second non-volatile memories. - View Dependent Claims (13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24, 25, 26, 27, 28, 29)
