Claim:
1. A wellbore servicing system comprising: multiple wellbore tool nodes incorporated within a tubular string having an axial flowbore formed therethrough to communicate formation fluids to a surface of a wellbore, wherein each of the wellbore tool nodes is configurable from a first configuration to a second configuration, wherein each of the wellbore tool nodes comprises an electronic circuit for receiving, processing, and outputting near field communication (NFC) signals; and a controller node configured to move through the axial flowbore of the tubular string in response to movement of fluid through the axial flowbore, wherein the controller node comprises an electronic circuit for receiving, processing, and outputting near field communication (NFC) signals, wherein the controller node communicates independently with each wellbore tool node separately from the other wellbore tool nodes via NFC signals to obtain an identity of the wellbore tool node and output a control command to the wellbore tool node based on the identity of the wellbore tool node.
