When choosing a marking controller to replace the controller in an existing installation, two things matter: it must match your machine and be reliably available. Our EG2-Box provides a solution for precisely this purpose.
The EG2-Box is a compact 2-/3-axis marking controller for marking machines and existing marking systems. It is compatible with Borries series 315, 322, 325, 326 and 330 and supports scribe, needle, DataMatrix and dot-character marking processes. With an integrated membrane keypad, four-line display and IP54 protection rating, it is designed for industrial environments.
For many companies, this is the most cost-effective way to keep an existing installation running. The marking machine’s mechanical components are often still usable even when its controller needs replacing. A suitable replacement controller keeps the machine productive without requiring an immediate change of the entire system.
Marking controller for existing marking machines
The EG2-Box is designed for marking stations with manual or automated workpiece handling. It can be integrated into a higher-level station controller, operated through a separate PC or used as a standalone solution. This makes it well suited to replacing controllers in existing installations that need a reliable, technically suitable solution.
The EG2-Box is a proven solution for existing systems. It was developed for use directly at the marking unit and for integration into higher-level control systems. Ethernet, USB and RS232/RS422 are standard. Further interfaces are available depending on the version.
Marking controller directly from isepos, the manufacturer
When a controller fails, you need a dependable solution as well as a replacement part. This is where isepos offers an advantage: we manufacture the EG2-Box, so you receive your replacement controller directly from its manufacturer.
That gives you confidence in your choice. We know the technology in detail, can explain the variants and options clearly and help you choose the right version. You receive a replacement controller designed specifically for existing installations.
The EG2-Box is also based on our proven iseCONTROL control platform. Behind the replacement controller is an in-house technical platform as well as an individual product. This provides confidence and clear responsibility for the technology, product configuration and availability.
EG2-Box marking controller: technical specifications
The EG2-Box provides the features that matter when replacing the controller of an existing marking machine:
- Universal 2-/3-axis marking controller
- Suitable for Borries marking machines 315, 322, 325, 326 and 330
- IP54 protection rating
- Integrated membrane keypad with a 4 × 40-character display
- Power supply 230 V / 115 V
- Onboard Ethernet
- Serial interfaces RS232 / RS422 and USB
- Optional bus interfaces such as PROFIBUS DP, PROFINET I/O, DeviceNet and EtherNet/IP
- Cable length of up to 15 m between the marking machine and EG2-Box
- Up to 3 motor axes
- DataMatrix conversion in the controller
- SD card with backup software
These features make the EG2-Box a powerful replacement controller for companies seeking a marking controller to keep their existing installation running.
Flexible integration into existing installations
The EG2-Box is designed to fit into existing production environments. Depending on the application, it can be integrated into a higher-level control system, run the macro program or be controlled from a separate PC using VisuWin SE or VisuWin Pro. Standalone operation is also possible, with the marking machine and controller working together as an independent installation.
This is a major advantage for existing installations. A replacement controller needs to be available and fit the existing environment sensibly. That is exactly what the EG2-Box is designed for.
Marking controller interfaces and options
In addition to its standard interfaces, the EG2-Box offers various expansion options. Different data-input interfaces are possible, as is reception of variable marking data, for example from a barcode scanner. Starting the marking cycle from a higher-level controller and use with an electric marking head are also supported.
Further bus interfaces are available depending on the version, including PROFIBUS DP, PROFINET I/O, DeviceNet and EtherNet/IP. The EG2-Box therefore serves as a replacement controller and as a flexible marking controller for different industrial requirements.
Suitable for existing installations
The EG2-Box is intended particularly for Borries series 315, 322, 325, 326 and 330 marking machines. In many cases, their mechanical components can remain in use while the controller is replaced. This keeps the machine operating and focuses investment on the part that actually needs replacing.
If you would like to check whether your existing installation can be operated with the EG2-Box, we will be happy to help you identify the appropriate version.
Supplied as a replacement controller
We supply the EG2-Box as a replacement controller for existing marking machines. The box itself is the main item supplied. Further variants, bus modules and options are available as required.
The software environment includes LDM-Makro, VisuWin SE and VisuWin Pro. When replacing a controller, the customer should have the software supplied with the original marking-machine purchase available, so the existing installation can continue to operate with the appropriate controller.
Why contact isepos directly?
If you need a replacement controller for an existing marking machine, speaking directly to the box manufacturer offers clear benefits. At isepos, you receive the appropriate controller and a contact who understands the technology and can explain variants, options and interfaces.
Choosing a marking controller involves more than a product name. It must match your existing machine and work reliably in operation. That is the confidence we aim to provide.
A suitable solution for other series
For smaller 2-axis applications, we also offer the EK2-Box as a suitable replacement controller. isepos therefore also provides solutions for other existing installations.
