Abstract
A diagnostic device for an electric motor includes a device memory, a wireless communication interface, and a processor. The interface is coupled to the device memory and retrieves, over a first wireless channel, operating data stored in motor memory on the electric motor. The interface transmits, over the first wireless channel, operating parameters to the electric motor. The operating parameters define a test routine for the electric motor. The test routine, when carried out by the electric motor, generates test data corresponding to the operating parameters and that is written to the motor memory. The interface retrieves, over a second wireless channel, the test data stored in the motor memory. The processor is coupled to the device memory and the interface. The processor processes at least the test data to diagnose the malfunction.
