New addition to the MGB2 family for even greater functionality

Euchner has unveiled two new modules for its successful MGB2 Multifunctional Gate Box Modular.

The New MCM Extension Module: Compact, Scalable and Powerful

A new, compact extension module is now available for the MGB2 Modular safety door system. The MCM has two slots, meaning it can be assembled with up to six control or Connection elements, for instance with an emergency stop button and enabling switch or with a key-operated rotary switch. Our extension module has many standout benefits. For example, the submodules
with the function elements are simply inserted into the extension modules via a hot-plug and need only minimal configuration before they are ready for operation. The MCM can be installed separately from the MGB locking module and bus module, meaning machine manufacturers, integrators and users can enjoy maximum flexibility during setup. You can also use it in combination with the bus module without a locking module or door handle to suit your individual Needs.


Decentralized Peripheral as Plug and Play with the New MSM Submodule

The new MSM submodule allows you to use an extension module for the MGB2 Modular safety door system as a decentralized peripheral for connecting external safety switches without difficulty. The fail-safe inputs can record the signal states of up to three electromechanical safety switches such as rope pull switches, emergency stop buttons and position switches and can transfer the safety signals to the control system via PROFINET using the PROFISAFE protocol. The MSM submodule has three dual-channel digital inputs. In addition, the system is hotpluggable during operation and needs only minimal configuration before it is ready for use.
