1. A surgical system, comprising:
a control circuit;
a surgical instrument comprising:
a handle assembly,
a plurality of components, wherein each of the plurality of components is interchangeably connectable to the handle assembly and configured to perform an associated function, wherein each component is a different type of component from the other components of the plurality of components,
a first sensor configured to detect a property of a first component of the plurality of components attached to the handle assembly, wherein the property identifies the type of component of the first component, and
a second sensor configured to detect a device parameter of the first component while the first component performs the associated function;
wherein the control circuit is configured to:
receive the property from the first sensor and the device parameter from the second sensor;
determine whether the device parameter satisfies a reference relationship to a system-defined constraint that is dependent on the type of the first component as indicated by the property of the first component,
record, in response to a determination that the device parameter does not satisfy the reference relationship, an identifier that uniquely identifies the first component from other components of the plurality of components, and
prohibit, in response to the recordation of the identifier, the use of the first component with the handle assembly.
