Schneider Electric XGSZ33ETH Proximity Sensor

The Schneider Electric XGSZ33ETH is an RFID Ethernet connection box that serves as the Ethernet gateway linking XG RFID smart antennas to industrial Ethernet networks. It is part of the Telemecanique RFID XG family and is used for RFID identification and Modbus TCP/IP communication across factory floor equipment, including conveyor systems, packaging machines, material handling gear, and automated production lines. The unit provides three channels and a 10/100 Mbit/s Ethernet interface, enabling tag reading, writing, diagnostics, and monitoring via Modbus TCP/IP. Its physical interface set includes one male M12 4-pin connector for power, three female M12 5-pin connectors for XGCS stations, and one M12 4-pin Ethernet connector. Operating from 24 V DC with a power draw of about 1 W, the box carries IP65 protection and operates from 0 °C to +70 °C, making it suitable for rugged manufacturing environments. Certifications include CE and UL. Common replacements are XGSZ33EIP, XGSZ33PDP, and XGSZ3P.
