Convertible intelligent power tool

A tool that is convertible between one of a first configuration and a second configuration, the tool comprising:

• a base unit that receives power and data communications from a remote source, the base unit comprising:
• a motor;
• an output drive that is driven by the motor;
• and
• a housing that extends around the motor and the output drive, the housing comprising a mounting platform;
• a first module that does not include a servo amplifier, the first module comprising:
• a first connector interface;
• and
• a first housing that extends around the first connector interface, the first housing comprising a first mount;
• a second module comprising:
• a servo amplifier;
• a processing circuit;
• a second connector interface;
• and
• a second housing that extends around the servo amplifier, the processing circuit, and the second connector interface, the second housing comprising a second mount;
• the mounting platform of the base unit configured to removably connect to one of the first module and the second module;
• a first configuration with the base unit and the first module connected together to move as a single component, the first configuration comprising the first housing of the first module physically contacting the housing and electrically removably connected to the base unit with the power and data communications from the remote source that are received at the base unit passing through the first module with the remote source external to the base unit and the first module and to not move together with the base unit and the first module;
• a second configuration with the base unit and the second module connected together to move as a single component, the second configuration comprising the second housing of the second module physically contacting the housing and electrically removably connected to the base unit with the power and data communications from the remote source that are received at the base unit passing through the second module with the remote source external to the base unit and the second module and to not move together with the base unit and the second module.
