Product catalog summary
Overview
The document introduces the Modular Bus System (MBS) by SCHLEGEL, designed for integrating pushbuttons, pilot lights, and switches into industrial networks. It highlights the system's simplicity, flexibility, and functionality, offering a streamlined solution for industrial automation.

Solutions and Problems
The MBS addresses the challenge of protocol incompatibility among different industrial networks. It allows for the integration of up to 128 devices with minimal wiring, reducing time and cost. The system supports various fieldbus systems and Industrial Ethernet, enhancing network flexibility and reliability.

Definition and Structure
The MBS consists of a basic module and extension modules. The basic module manages communication with the network, while extension modules expand the system's capacity. Up to 15 extension modules can be connected, allowing for a scalable solution tailored to customer needs.

Advantages for Customers
Key benefits include reduced wiring effort, cost savings, and flexible adaptation to specific requirements. The system supports additional features like external I/Os, RFID, and power outputs, enhancing its versatility.

Gateways and Enclosures
Gateways facilitate integration with Industrial Ethernet and IO-Link, featuring compact designs and RFID interfaces. Enclosures from the proboxx series can be connected via M12 connections, allowing for customizable configurations.

Field Devices
SCHLEGEL offers direct integration of enclosure assemblies with pushbuttons and switches into networks like AS-Interface and IO-Link. These systems enable seamless integration and addressability within industrial networks.

Conclusion
The MBS by SCHLEGEL provides a comprehensive solution for integrating control devices into industrial networks, offering significant advantages in terms of flexibility, cost-efficiency, and ease of use.

Î MBS - THE MODULAR BUS SYSTEM OF SCHLEGEL Industrial networks Fieldbus systems, Industrial Ethernet and also IO-Link are already part of the industrial field and simplify the structure of automation systems essentially. The main advantages of modern network technology compared to the previously common parallel wiring are the high flexibility and reliability as well as the significantly lower cabling effort. Real-time capability, industry 4.0 and thus networked automation have only become possible thanks to modern fieldbus systems or Industrial Ethernet. However, there is also a decisive disadvantage...

How does SCHLEGEL solve this problem? With the modular bus system MBS developed by SCHLEGEL individual pushbuttons, pilot lights and switches or complete operating units can be easily and conveniently integrated into various industrial networks. Communication with the fieldbus system or the Industrial Ethernet is performed via the basic module in which the incoming data is processed and passed on to the MBS to control the pushbuttons, pilot lights and switches. Advantage: Only the basic module and not every individual pushbutton or pilot light needs to be connected to the respective industrial...

The basic module with 8 inputs and outputs which regulates the communication with the connected system and the MBS The extension module to expand the MBS with additional 8 inputs and outputs The flexible structure of the system has many advantages: The extension modules can be combined with any of the various fieldbus, Ethernet or IO-Link basic modules. Depending on the intended use and customer's requirement up to 15 extension modules can be added in a row to just one basic module. This allows to vary the number of pushbuttons, pilot lights and switches to be controlled which can be increased...

Î MBS - THE MODULAR BUS SYSTEM OF SCHLEGEL Industrial networks Gateways The gateways for the Industrial Ethernet (Profinet, Ethernet/IP, EtherCAT, Powerlink) or for IO-Link are very compact and can be installed via the integrated top-hat rail, for example for the use in a switching cabinet. The connection to the external system is made via the RJ45 port of the integrated 2-port switch. The basic function of the gateway corresponds to the basic module of the MBS Standard but without inputs/outputs for pushbuttons, switches and pilot lights. Instead, the gateway has an RFID interface and an A/D...
