Abstract
A portable tool is connected to a remotely located operation controlling and/or monitoring control it via a multi-core cable. The multi-core cable is connected to the tool by a standard type multi-connector plug and jack connection to supply electric power and/or electric signals between the tool and the control unit. At least one signal producing element is provided on an upgrading module. The upgrading module is insertable between the tool and the multi-core cable via mating multi-connector plug and jack connections, and forms a readily exchangeable adapter. The upgrading module is individually designed to meet the demands of a particular operator, thereby adapting a standard type portable tool to a certain application without involving any re-building of the tool.
