The Euchner MGB2 Classic multifunctional gate box provides guard locking for safety doors on machines and systems, wired directly to the control system rather than through a fieldbus. Its evaluation module is configured with DIP switches to operate as an MGB2-BP individual device or as an MGB2-BR device for series connection. On guard locking versions, guard lock monitoring can be switched on or off, and release monitoring can signal when the auxiliary or escape release has been actuated.
Key Features
Guard locking for the protection of persons or processes
L1 versions: closed-circuit current principle, guard locking by spring force and released by applying voltage to the guard locking solenoid
L2 versions: open-circuit current principle, guard locking activated by applying voltage to the guard locking solenoid
Guard lock monitoring selectable on or off; release monitoring available when guard lock monitoring is on
Direct connection to a control system without a bus module
Evaluation module configurable by DIP switches to behave as an MGB2-BP or MGB2-BR device
Series connection in a BR switch chain when configured as BR
Operating voltage 24 V DC, reverse polarity protected; short circuit-proof safety outputs
Door stop can be changed from right to left at any time
Connection submodules available with M20 x 1.5 cable entry, M12 or M23 plug connector
