A motor control program transferring system includes: an upper control device including a memory storing motor control program(s) that are executable on motor control device(s) and circuitry which performs assigning operation(s) that assigns unique identification information to the motor control device(s) and transfers the motor control program(s) to the respective motor control device(s) to which the respective unique identification information has been assigned; motor control device(s) which communicates with the upper control device, the motor control device(s) each including a volatile memory, and a storage; and switching circuitry which enables communication between a first one of the motor control devices and the upper control device during initial state and switch on communication between a second one of the motor control devices and the upper control device after a respective unique identification information is assigned to the first motor control device. The motor control devices each having initially designated identification information.
