Motor controller and methods of wirelessly reprogramming motor controller

A system for updating control parameters of electric motors, said system comprising:

• a programming device configured to:
• initiate a wireless connection with an electric motor;
• and
• transmit a wireless control signal to said electric motor, the wireless control signal including updated control parameters for control of said electric motor;
• and
• said electric motor comprising a motor controller for controlling said electric motor, said motor controller comprising:
• a motion control microcontroller unit (MCU) for storing initial control parameters for said electric motor;
• a wireless receiver communicatively coupled to said motion control MCU, said wireless receiver configured to:
• activate in response to the initiation of the wireless connection with said programming device;
• receive the wireless control signal from said programming device, and
• transmit the updated control parameters to said motion control MCU;
• and
• an energy management system configured to, without connection of the electric motor to an external power source, power said wireless receiver and said motion control MCU.

A method of wirelessly updating control parameters of electric motors, said method comprising:

• initiating, by a programming device, a wireless connection with an electric motor;
• in response to said initiating, activating a wireless receiver of the electric motor;
• transmitting, by the programming device, a wireless control signal to the electric motor, the wireless control signal including updated control parameters for control of the electric motor;
• receiving, at the wireless receiver, the wireless control signal;
• transmitting, by the wireless receiver, the updated control parameters to a motion control microcontroller unit (MCU) of the electric motor;
• implementing, by the motion control MCU, one or more updates associated with control of said wireless receiver based upon the updated control parameter;
• and
• powering, by an energy management system of the electric motor, without connection of said electric motor to an external power source, the wireless receiver and the motion control MCU.
