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.

Function Exten­sions

Flexible in price and perfor­mance with the DSM licence model

  • Gradient detec­tion – Function for detec­tion of a defined gradient, detects positive as well as negative peaks and their quantity.
  • Direct control via fieldbus – Controls the DSM tool by the speci­fi­ca­tions in the dynamic fieldbus protocol via fieldbus with the PLC.
  • Cyclic values via fieldbus – The measured values selected in the dynamic fieldbus are trans­mitted cycli­cally to the fieldbus in real time.
  • Parameter via fieldbus (dynamic) – Defined parame­ters of a stage can be tempo­r­a­rily modified at runtime via the fieldbus.

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.
