Methods and systems for recording operating information of an electronically commutated motor

A motor controller for an electric motor, said motor controller comprising:

• an enclosure;
• a processing device disposed within said enclosure and configured to:
• control the electric motor;
• and
• collect operating information including measured values and corresponding timestamps from the electric motor during operation of the electric motor;
• a memory device disposed within said enclosure and communicatively coupled to said processing device, said memory device configured to receive and store the operating information including overwriting previously stored measured values with the measured values with a corresponding most recent timestamp;
• and
• a communication interface disposed within said enclosure and communicatively coupled to said processing device and said memory device, said communication interface configured to enable access to the operating information stored on said memory device by a computing device disposed remotely from the electric motor.
