Abstract
An electronic system for controlling the operation of a hand-held pull strap closure unit. The system includes a central processing unit which controls peripheral circuitry for directing commands to a motor within the hand-held unit. The system further includes a circuit for monitoring motor torque and a hand-held unit identification circuit for identifying each unit with an individualized code. The CPU may be accessed via an external communications port to store user-selected operational parameters in a memory circuit. These parameters may include time of day, calendar, and motor torque limits for each device.
