Control systems

MultiPro 3G

Modern high-end control system for hand-held nutrun­ners and
built-in nutrun­ners of the DS series in execu­tion MDW and SA as well as for all press-in units of the QMP / SMP and XMP series.

DSM breaks new ground with the MultiPro 3G.
Because in addition to the hardware exten­sions, it is above all the scalable firmware that deter­mines the scope of perfor­mance of the control system. For this purpose, a licence manage­ment system was embedded in the firmware architecture.

The active firmware (tighten or press-in) is already equipped with a large number of basic functions, but can be tailored to the customer’s needs or process requi­re­ments by means of the exten­sion level, the tool licences and the function exten­sions.

Function exten­sions

Flexible in price and perfor­mance with the DSM licence model
… only as much as you actually need.

  • Result selec­tion – With the result selec­tion you specify the result values for the evalua­tion of the process. This will evaluate the result relevant to your process.
  • Unit adjus­table – The unit of torque / force can be set.
  • Filter – DSM filter functions for blending out high-frequency (unwanted) inter­fe­rences of the measu­ring signal.
  • 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.
  • Parameter via fieldbus (static) – Defined parame­ters of a stage can be perma­nently modified via the field bus.
  • Correc­tion factor MD / F – The correc­tion factor serves to matching the torque / force.
  • Envelope – Additional evalua­tion element for control of the process. The measu­ring curve may not break the upper and/or lower envelope.
  • Linea­ri­sa­tion MD – Linea­ri­sa­tion / multi-range calibra­tion Torque with higher accuracy requi­re­ments for specific torque points.
  • Linea­ri­sa­tion WI – Linea­ri­sa­tion / multi-range calibra­tion Rotation angle to compen­sate for occur­ring torsional losses.
  • Yield strength proce­dure – Tighten until the defined switch-off gradient is reached.
  • Head contact – Tighten to head contact with the speci­ally developed DSM algorithm for head contact detec­tion for self-forming / self-tapping tightening processes.
  • Thread entry detec­tion – Rotation against the screw-in direc­tion – detec­tion of the jump of thread entry into the first thread by using a length measu­ring sensor.
  • Turn in to external sensor – Tightening until a defined external target value is reached with monito­ring of torque and angle of rotation.
  • Turn and hold – After switch-off, the torque or the position (angle of rotation) measured at this time is held for a defined period of time.
  • Linea­ri­sa­tion F – Linea­ri­sa­tion / multi-range calibra­tion Force with higher accuracy requi­re­ments for specific force points.
  • Linea­ri­sa­tion L – Linea­ri­sa­tion / multi-range calibra­tion Length (stroke) for compen­sa­tion of load-depen­dent deflection.
  • Press and hold – After switch-off, the force or the position (length) measured at this time is held for a defined period of time.
  • Move to external sensor – Press-in until a defined external target value is reached with monito­ring of force and length. For example for the direct and high-precision measu­re­ment on the compo­nent with an external length sensor; measures the actual stroke (relative height), regard­less of influences such as bending, diffe­rent heights or tolerances on the tool carrier.
  • Move to gradient – Move until the defined switch-off gradient [kN/ms] is reached – display of the gradient curve with the second Y axis. Control of force and length.
  • Review window – The function can be used to generate a window within a proce­dure, which is defined by means of a start and end value and evaluated retrospectively.

Basic modules

MultiPro 3G

The basic module supplies the MultiPro 3G control module and the connected DSM tool (nutrunner / press-in unit).
In addition the basic module regulates and monitors the drive and controls the voltage and status of the hall sensor as well as the tempe­ra­ture, current and voltage of the servomotor.

The basic module is divided into diffe­rent types due to the diffe­rent perfor­mance requi­re­ments and is assigned to the DSM tools in a fixed manner. The unit with the safety function STO (Safe Torque Off) is ready for integra­tion into a customer‘s protec­tion concept.

Always switch off safely – we equipp our press-in systems with basic modules in STO design as standard in accordance with the norm DIN EN ISO 13849.

Flexible in appli­ca­tion – the modular system concept not only allows to change the control module (e.g. upgrade to MultiPro 3G), but also allows the basic module to be replaced when process condi­tions change.
