Why Choose the Pizzato ST GD230MP-P2 Safety Sensor?
The Pizzato ST GD230MP-P2 is an advanced multitag RFID safety sensor from the Pizzato ST G series, designed for non-contact monitoring and identification of multiple positions on guards and movable elements of industrial machinery. Its factory-programmed P2 functionality allows a single sensor to recognise two individually coded RFID actuators while combining functional safety monitoring with useful position-identification data.
The P2 configuration uses two high-level coded SM G1T actuators. When TAG0 is detected, the safety outputs are activated and code 0 is transmitted through signalling output O3; when TAG1 is detected, the safety outputs are activated and code 1 is transmitted through O3. This allows a compatible PLC or machine control system to determine which recognised actuator is positioned in front of the sensor.
Operating from a 24 V DC supply, the ST GD230MP-P2 features two safety inputs IS1-IS2, two safety outputs OS1-OS2 and one signalling output O3. The MP connection version incorporates an integrated M12 technopolymer connector, while the G1T actuator format provides an 11 mm actuation distance for dependable non-contact detection in industrial machinery applications.

Two-Position Multitag RFID Monitoring
The Pizzato multitag system extends conventional RFID guard monitoring by allowing a single sensor to recognise multiple high-level coded actuators. With the P2 configuration, two SM G1T actuators are recognised by the same sensor. Detection of either actuator activates the safety outputs, while O3 transmits a serial identification code corresponding to TAG0 or TAG1 for processing by a compatible PLC.
This functionality can be particularly useful on machinery where two recognised positions must be distinguished without installing a separate position sensor for each location. For safety applications, the actuators must be permanently secured to the machine in accordance with EN ISO 14119 and must not be used as a means of bypassing the protective function.
Typical Applications
- Machine guards requiring recognition of two defined positions.
- Automated production and assembly machinery.
- Robotic cells and guarded automation systems.
- Rotary and indexed machinery.
- Packaging and processing equipment.
- Material handling and automated transfer systems.
- OEM machinery requiring RFID-based position identification.
