A control system 42 for a machine comprising a plurality of independently replaceable machine modules 38 comprises a controller 40 operable to control operation of the machine 36. Memory 46 stores machine data for use by the controller 40. Communication means 44 are operable to provide communication for data transfer between the controller 40 and the memory 46. The memory includes a plurality of memory modules associated with respective machine modules 38. Each of the memory modules 46 is replaceable with the respective associated machine module 38 and independently of other memory modules 46. The communication means 44 is operable to provide communication for data transfer between the controller 40 and a replacement memory module 46 associated with a replacement machine module 38.
