Plug and play motor control system

A method comprising:

• automatically discovering, via a processor, each of a plurality of identities of a plurality of interface components connected to a load controller through a digital communication link of a load control system upon startup of the load control system, wherein the plurality of interface components is configured to couple to an operator interface for sending data to the load controller, and wherein the load controller is configured to control an operation of a motor control system;
• retrieving, via the processor, an operational profile of the motor control system from a storage based on a combination of the each of the plurality of identities of the plurality of interface components discovered by the processor;
• and
• operating, via the processor, the motor control system based on the operational profile.

Non-transitory computer-readable storage media comprising instructions stored thereon, wherein the instructions are configured to:

• automatically discover a plurality of identities of a plurality of interface components configured to connect to an operator interface for controlling a motor starter through a digital communication link of a motor control system upon startup of the motor control system;
• select an operational profile of the motor control system based on a combination of the plurality of identities;
• and
• load the operational profile for execution during operation of the motor control system.
