Under the guiding principle of connected, safe, and efficient manufacturing, EUCHNER will showcase its latest innovations for industrial automation at AMB 2026 in Stuttgart (Hall 8, Booth C59). Trade fair highlights include the EKS2, the latest generation of the Electronic-Key-System, the MGB2 Modular safety door system, pioneering IO-Link Safety solutions, and comprehensive concepts addressing cybersecurity and the requirements of the Cyber Resilience Act (CRA).
Protect what we create. CRA-ready! With EUCHNER.
Cybersecurity is increasingly becoming a critical success factor in machine and plant engineering. It complements functional safety and plays a key role in ensuring the availability, integrity, and confidentiality of modern production systems. With the Cyber Resilience Act (CRA), the European Union is establishing a uniform legal framework for the cybersecurity of products with digital elements. “We took the right steps early on: Since the beginning of the year, our development process has been certified according to IEC 62443-4-1, making EUCHNER CRA-ready. At the same time, we have established a Product Security Incident Response Team (PSIRT) and entered into a cooperation with the VDE’s Cyber Emergency Response Team (CERT@VDE). This reinforces our commitment to delivering permanently secure and robust products in accordance with the Cyber Resilience Act,” explains Bernd Hermann, Head of Development at EUCHNER. At the same time, the company supports machine manufacturers and operators with comprehensive consulting on cybersecurity requirements in the industry. This includes threat and risk analyses, the identification of security vulnerabilities, and assistance with the implementation of “security-by-design” concepts. EUCHNER is here to support as a trusted partner for any questions regarding compliance, vulnerability management, and security updates.
End-to-end safe communication with IO-Link Safety
By combining robust safety components with IO-Link Safety, EUCHNER is opening up new possibilities for seamless, safe communication in automation.
By combining robust safety components with IO-Link Safety, EUCHNER is opening up new possibilities for end-to-end, safe communication in automation.
The last 20 meters between the control system and field devices have long been considered the bottleneck of automation: Sensors and actuators had to be wired individually, while increasing requirements for safety and diagnostics continuously raised the complexity of cabling. With IO-Link Safety, EUCHNER offers a solution that significantly reduces this complexity. Instead of many individual wires, a single standardized connection is sufficient for transmitting data and signals.
This enables end-to-end, safe communication from the control system to the sensor and back. Switches, guard locking, and door systems can be efficiently integrated and flexibly incorporated into modern machine designs. The safe transmission of actuator IDs up to SIL3 / PL e also opens up new fields of application, such as the safe position monitoring of moving machine parts.
Comprehensive diagnostic functions enable detailed real-time status and error analysis, simplify device replacement, and reduce maintenance efforts. This increases system availability and enhances efficiency throughout the entire machine lifecycle.
Digital access control for smart factories
With the EKS2, EUCHNER simplifies the selection of safe operating modes.
With the EKS2 Electronic-Key-System, EUCHNER simplifies the safe selection of operating modes and the management of access rights in modern production environments.
In combination with the new EKM2 Electronic-Key-Manager and an integrated database, keys can be managed centrally on a PC. Variable role and authorization concepts can thus be easily implemented and flexibly adapted to different shift and organizational structures.
Predefined templates, data encryption, a hygienic IP69K design, and direct PROFINET connectivity ensure rapid integration into existing automation solutions.
Scalable safety door system for flexible production concepts
The modular design of the MGB2 with standard components enables customized and cost-effective applications with high flexibility in implementation and scaling. The bus module, which supports PROFINET, EtherCAT(P), and EtherNet/IP, ensures versatility in communication.
Machines and production lines are constantly evolving. The MGB2 Modular grows with these requirements. The fully modular safety door system can be flexibly adapted to new machine concepts, line expansions, or retrofit projects. For maximum communication flexibility, the bus module supports the common Industrial Ethernet protocols PROFINET, EtherCAT(P), and EtherNet/IP.
An integrated Ethernet switch further reduces wiring effort and simplifies the network topology. At the same time, the system combines access control, operation, and signaling in a single solution. With an IP65 protection rating, temperatures down to -30 °C, and safety levels up to PL e / SIL3, the MGB2 Modular is particularly well-suited for demanding applications in machine and plant engineering.
