Get Tool Data

The Get Tool Data action gets general information about the Stanley Tools controller. This is performed by sending a MID0040 command to the Stanley Tools controller. The data returned will vary based upon the software revision level installed on the controller.

Parameters

Parameter Description
Device Input Type The method to supply the device name to the action. The options are:
  • Static - select the device name from the Device Name parameter
  • Dynamic - enter the device name in the Device Name input variable. This allows the device name to be passed to the action during trigger execution
Device Name Select a Stanley Tools device.

Displayed when the Static option is selected in the Device Input Type parameter.

This list will contain both Stanley devices and Stanley NutRunner type devices.
Revision Level The software revision level to use when sending the MID0040 request. The options are 1 - 3. Higher revision levels will result in additional data being returned by the controller

Input tab

Parameter Description
Device Name Displayed when the Dynamic option is selected in the Device Input Type parameter.

This variable holds the device name that tool data will be requested from.

Output tab

The revision level describes the minimum level required to retrieve a variable. Revision 3 contains all variables from revision 2 and 1.
