the main controller. It also includes a built-in web-server to allow straightforward interrogation of the unit without having to have specialist software or programming knowledge. The locking modules can be equipped with controls such as pushbuttons, selector switches, key-operated rotary switches or emergency stop buttons as needed. Submodules allow up to six different control elements in the locking module, which can be replaced with the minimum of disruption due to their hot-pluggable features. Add-on expansion modules are available where additional user-controls are required, possibly eliminating the need for separate localised operator control stations.
Only one Fieldbus module is required for up to six locking modules, a considerable advantage over its predecessor for communicating both safety and control signals. Besides fewer devices, the user also requires less on-machine cabling and PLC I/ Os, ultimately saving on costly failsafe PLC capacity in the control system. If space is limited, the bus node can simply be installed remotely in another suitable location. Unlike the fieldbus variant, the MGB2 Classic version does not communicate via a bus system but is hard-wired directly to the relevant control system – making it the ideal solution for non-networked installations. The system features two OSSD safety outputs, provides continuous diagnostic information via multiple signalling outputs and can be connected in series with up to 10 devices, saving costs on expensive evaluation devices or safety I/O.
Euchner’s new generation MGB2 failsafe door locking systems for machine guarding combine design expertise, renowned German quality, speed of installation and diagnostic detail, backed up with a substantial stock holding in the UK to ensure the company can always meet customer demands with short turnaround times.
