A surgical instrument is disclosed including an end effector, a shaft, and a housing. The end effector includes an RFID tag configured to store end effector information. The shaft includes a first RFID scanner and a second RFID tag configured to store shaft information. The first RFID scanner is configured to detect the first RFID tag in a first attached configuration. The housing includes a second RFID scanner configured to detect the second RFID tag in a second attached configuration, a motor configured to apply a load to the end effector, and a control circuit. The control circuit is configured to receive input from the first RFID scanner indicative of the end effector information, receive input from the second RFID scanner indicative of the shaft information, and adjust at least one parameter of operation of the motor based on the end effector information and the shaft information. |
