Why Choose the Pizzato ST GD230N5-P11 Safety Sensor?
The Pizzato ST GD230N5-P11 is a compact RFID non-contact safety sensor from the Pizzato ST G series, designed for reliable monitoring of movable guards, safety doors and access points on industrial machinery. Its RFID operating principle provides coded guard detection without mechanical contact, helping minimise wear while delivering dependable switching for frequently operated machine safety applications.
The GD230 architecture incorporates two safety inputs IS1–IS2, two safety outputs OS1–OS2 and one O3 signalling output. This combination enables the sensor to participate in compatible interconnected safety architectures, including series-connected arrangements used to simplify wiring on machinery with multiple monitored guards.
Operating from a 24 V DC supply, the ST GD230N5-P11 uses an N5 integrated PVC cable for direct machine wiring. The compact glass-fibre reinforced technopolymer housing, multicolour status indication and IP67 / IP69K protection provide a robust solution for demanding machine guarding, safety interlocking and industrial automation installations.

Advanced RFID Guard Monitoring for Industrial Automation
RFID safety sensors such as the Pizzato ST GD230N5-P11 monitor movable machine guards without requiring mechanical engagement between the sensor and actuator. The electronic sensing system evaluates the associated RFID actuator and communicates the resulting guard condition through the redundant OS1–OS2 safety outputs to a compatible safety module or safety PLC with OSSD inputs.
The GD230 architecture also incorporates IS1–IS2 safety inputs, enabling the sensor to participate in compatible series-connected safety circuits. Multiple ST series sensors can be interconnected to simplify safety-system wiring, while the dedicated O3 signalling output provides additional status information for machine control and diagnostics. When correctly integrated, ST series architectures can maintain safety performance up to PL e.
Typical Applications
- Industrial machine guard doors and access panels.
- Series-connected machine safety architectures.
- Packaging and processing machinery.
- Automated production and assembly equipment.
- Robot cells and automated manufacturing systems.
- Machinery requiring RFID guard monitoring with safety inputs and outputs.
