Motor programming tool with handle-mounted PCB
First Claim
1. A motor programming tool for temporarily associating with an electrical connection block of a motor and sending electrical signals to a programmable controller of the motor, wherein the electrical connection block of the motor houses a plurality of motor terminals coupled to the controller, said programming tool comprising:
- a tool body including an interface generally corresponding with the electrical connection block of the motor for selective association therewith;
wiring operable to carry the electrical signals, the wiring presenting terminal ends disposed in the tool body;
a plurality of terminal connecting assemblies configured to associate with the plurality of motor terminals, with each connecting assembly operably contacting a respective motor terminal upon association of the tool body with the electrical connection block of the motor; and
a circuit board having circuitry being electrically connected to the wiring and including a power transmission portion and a data transmission portion, the circuit board being disposed in the tool body.
