Euchner MGB2 MSM gate box input submodule

Euchner has released an additional module for its MGB2 Multifunctional Gate Box Modular. The MSM submodule provides users with additional safety inputs for connecting external switches, meaning they can easily be connected to Profinet/Profisafe.

The MCM extension modules can be used with the MSM submodule as a decentralised peripheral for connecting electromechanical safety switches with M12 plugs. The failsafe inputs can record the signal states of 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, allowing up to six slots to be used as secure inputs when using the small MCM extension module. The MSM is equally suitable for M12 push-pull plugs and M12 threaded plugs. In addition, the system is hot-pluggable during operation and needs only minimal configuration before it is ready for use.

The MGB2 Modular has a modular system design to give users greater flexibility. As a result, extension modules and submodules are easily scalable and functions can be expanded and changed without difficulty. This means users benefit from a system that is customisable and flexible enough to meet any potential future requirements.
