Control systems

Multi­Pro 3G

The Multi­Pro 3G is the central control system for built-in nutrun­ners and hand­held nutrun­ners of the DS(H) series as well as for all press-in units of the QMP, SMP and XMP series.

Its compact design allows for space-saving use without a control cabi­net. The control module and basic module toge­ther form a modu­lar plat­form that can be flexi­bly adapted to new requi­re­ments via expan­sion slots.

In addi­tion to the hard­ware exten­si­ons, the scalable firm­ware largely deter­mi­nes the syste­m’s range of func­tions. An inte­gra­ted license manage­ment system enables confi­gu­ra­tion as either a tigh­tening or press-in system.

Through exten­sion levels, tool licen­ces, and func­tion exten­si­ons, the system can be precis­ely tail­o­red to the speci­fic appli­ca­tion.
Even in its stan­dard confi­gu­ra­tion, the Multi­Pro 3G offers a wide range of basic func­tions. Addi­tio­nal proces­ses and features are alre­ady embedded in the firm­ware and can be acti­va­ted as needed – also tempo­r­a­rily for test­ing purposes.

DSM imple­ments process-speci­fic requi­re­ments with custo­mer focus and tech­ni­cal exper­tise – enab­ling new func­tions to be inte­gra­ted quickly and seam­lessly into the control system.

The control module hand­les para­me­ter­iza­tion, programming, moni­to­ring, and commu­ni­ca­tion within the modu­lar Multi­Pro 3G plat­form.
In combi­na­tion with the basic module, the system can be precis­ely adapted to a wide range of assem­bly and test­ing processes.

Thanks to hard­ware exten­si­ons and inte­gra­ted firm­ware, it is flexi­bly confi­gura­ble and can be adapted to the DSM tool in use via tool licen­ses – whether sensor-control­led or current-control­led.
The current-control­led version (SA) is available for almost all nutrun­ners; for press-in units, the XMP series is available in an SA vari­ant.
This makes the system suita­ble for a broad spec­trum of tigh­tening and press-in tasks with vary­ing levels of process comple­xity.

The Multi­Pro 3G control module is equip­ped with a color touch display and offers a clear menu struc­ture with inter­na­tio­nally under­stan­da­ble icons.
This allows intui­tive opera­tion and moni­to­ring of proces­ses – regard­less of the appli­ca­tion scenario.

Depen­ding on the exten­sion level, confi­gu­ra­tion and programming are carried out either directly via the display or using DSM’s MPEC soft­ware.
In simp­ler versi­ons (e.g. exten­sion level S or M), MPEC serves as the central user inter­face.

Thanks to inte­gra­ted inter­faces (e.g. Profinet, Ethernet/IP), the system can be connec­ted to higher-level networks and enables centra­li­zed para­me­ter­iza­tion, process moni­to­ring, and data acqui­si­tion – ready for connec­ted appli­ca­ti­ons in line with Indus­try 4.0.

Basic Modu­les

BM‑L series

next arrow

The basic module supplies power to both the control module and the connec­ted DSM tool (nutrun­ner or press-in unit). It also regu­la­tes and moni­tors the drive, checks the voltage, moni­tors the condi­tion of the Hall sensors, and controls the tempe­ra­ture, current, and voltage of the servomotor.

Depen­ding on the requi­red perfor­mance level, diffe­rent types of basic modu­les are available. Each DSM tool is assi­gned a speci­fic basic module type. The basic module with STO (Safe Torque Off) safety func­tion is desi­gned for inte­gra­tion into custo­mer-speci­fic safety concepts.

Our press-in systems are equip­ped as stan­dard with basic modu­les featuring STO func­tion­a­lity and comply with the requi­re­ments of DIN EN ISO 13849.

The modu­lar system design not only allows easy repla­ce­ment of the control module (e.g. upgrade to Multi­Pro 3G), but also enables the basic module to be exch­an­ged in response to chan­ging process condi­ti­ons – ensu­ring maxi­mum flexi­bi­lity in application.
