MGB2 Classic and MGB2 Modular – Intelligent Solutions for Safety Doors in Industrial Applications
Wednesday, 18 June, 2025 : 09:22 Informacije
In the era of digitalization and increasingly stringent safety requirements in industrial automation, EUCHNER continues to set new standards with its advanced safety door locking systems. The MGB2 series, featuring Classic and Modular models, offers highly reliable, flexible, and scalable solutions for protecting both operators and machinery in industrial environments.
Compact Power: MGB2 Classic
The MGB2 Classic is a robust safety door locking system designed for parallel wiring. Its distinct advantage lies in the integration of three essential functions within a single unit – safety switch, locking mechanism, and control panel. Thanks to its modular design, the system can be equipped with a submodule featuring up to three control elements, selected from EUCHNER’s extensive range.
By implementing this solution, users receive a comprehensive safety locking system that complies with the highest safety category in accordance with EN ISO 13849-1, Category 4 / PL e. Additional value comes from the ability to connect up to ten devices in series, as well as the compatibility with a wide array of accessories – including activation switches, emergency release mechanisms, and auxiliary releases.
Modularity and Connectivity: MGB2 Modular
For more complex and networked installations, MGB2 Modular is the ideal choice – a system that combines functionality, flexibility, and intelligent diagnostics. It consists of a handle, a locking module with slots for up to two submodules (accommodating six control elements), and a bus module compatible with all major industrial communication protocols: PROFINET/PROFIsafe, EtherCAT/FSoE, M12 L-coded, M8 P-coded, and others.
The MGB2 Modular supports both open and closed circuit principles, and offers high-level safety features such as transponder-based coding, internal locking of the handle, escape release, and mechanical bolt locking. These capabilities make it ideal for applications requiring complete access control and maximum protection.
An integrated web server enables real-time access to device status and diagnostic information, greatly simplifying commissioning and system maintenance.
Limitless Expansion: MCM Modules
Additional flexibility is provided by MCM expansion modules, designed for the decentralized integration of extra functions – whether as standalone control stations, safety key systems, or communication nodes. Available with two or four slots, these modules support up to 12 additional control or signal elements.
The modular architecture allows for easy system scaling with minimal wiring and configuration effort, giving users complete control over designing their system’s safety architecture.
Ready for Industry 4.0
The MGB2 Modular is fully prepared for modern industrial requirements – supporting diagnostic data collection, integration with IoT/IIoT ecosystems, and rapid configuration options. As such, it represents a long-term investment for manufacturers aiming to upgrade their safety infrastructure in line with current standards.
Conclusion
EUCHNER’s MGB2 Classic and MGB2 Modular systems are more than just safety door locking devices – they are comprehensive platforms for safety, flexibility, and integration into modern industrial systems. Their implementation enhances not only safety, but also efficiency, diagnostics, and maintainability, making them the ideal solution for all levels of industrial automation.
