Patent ID: 8868629

Claim:
An apparatus comprising: a memory configured to store a plurality of inverter parameters corresponding to a plurality of inverters, each inverter controlling a motor using an associated inverter parameter of the plurality of inverter parameters; a communication unit configured to transmit an inverter parameter to a first inverter of the plurality of inverters, or receive the inverter parameter from the first inverter; and a controller configured to for: determine whether an input command signal from an input unit indicates a read condition or write condition of the inverter parameter of the first inverter, determine an inherent identification number of the first inverter connected by the communication unit, store the inverter parameter received from the first inverter by the communication unit in at least one of the memory, a user terminal, or an external storage device, when the input command signal indicates the read condition, and control the communication unit to transmit the inverter parameter of the first inverter stored in the memory to at least one of the first inverter, the user terminal, or the external storage device, when the input command signal indicates the write condition.
