Compressor data module
First Claim
1. A compressor comprising a shell, a compression mechanism, a motor, a data module, and a compressor controller, said data module including a data module processor and a data module memory, said compressor controller including a controller processor and a controller memory distinct from said data module processor and said data module memory, said data module being configured to receive sensed data, store said sensed data in said data module memory, determine a first diagnosis of the compressor based on said sensed data, and communicate said sensed data and said first diagnosis to said compressor controller, and said compressor controller being configured to determine a second diagnosis of the compressor based on said sensed data and verify said first diagnosis by comparing said first diagnosis to said second diagnosis.

Abstract
A compressor is provided and includes a shell, a compression mechanism, a motor, a data module, and a compressor controller. The data module includes a data module processor and a data module memory. The compressor controller includes a controller processor and a controller memory distinct from the data module processor and the data module memory. The data module receives sensed data, stores the sensed data in the data module memory, determines a first diagnosis of the compressor based on the sensed data, and communicates the sensed data and the first diagnosis to the compressor controller. The compressor controller determines a second diagnosis of the compressor based on the sensed data and verifies the first diagnosis by comparing the first diagnosis to the second diagnosis.
