Servo presses are no longer limited to a fixed sinusoidal motion, combining the free motion capability of hydraulic presses with the speed of classic mechanical presses. This new freedom of the press motion allows the integration of peripheral processes into the forming tool, reducing the necessity of follow-up processes. However, this new capability comes at the cost of increased complexity of the tool, which needs its own control system. Current techniques for the integration of peripheral systems lack granularity and need tedious hand tweaking. Therefore, many tool manufacturers have yet to embrace the new capabilities of servo presses. In this paper we introduce a novel approach, in which a press tool uses a middleware to automatically set-up the fieldbus configuration, during reconfiguration of the press. The considered peripheral system consists of threetransfer modules which combine two forming parts in the tool for welding. The access to additional system data is necessary for the sophisticated transfer motions in this tool. Additionally, the necessity of manually tweakingthe synchronization of the transfer is eliminated by this new approach. The capabilities of the new approachare demonstrated using state of the art controllers of a production system.
