Abstract
A motor network mapping device is provided. The motor network mapping device includes a processor coupled to a memory device. The motor network mapping device is configured to determine physical distances between a plurality of motors in a network using properties of electronic test signals transmitted through a power line coupled to the plurality of motors. The motor network mapping device is additionally configured to generate a map of physical locations of the motors using the determined physical distances between the plurality of motors and store the map in the memory device.
