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). |
