A powered stapling device has a motor which can be operated at differing speeds based on a parameter indicative of the assembly's capabilities. The powered stapling device has a control system for controlling the motor. The control system has the ability to pause or stop the advancement of the firing system. The control system can stop advancement of the motor when a force or torque exceeds a predetermined force of torque on the firing rod. The control system can recouple the motor so that the motor is able to continue advancement when the force falls below the predetermine force limit, or a different predetermined force limit.
