XGCS850C201 is the compact RFID smart antenna with Ethernet interface in the Telemecanique OsiSense XG range. Its 80 × 93 × 40 mm housing combines the antenna, the RFID controller and the Modbus TCP and EtherNet/IP protocols. It works with 13.56 MHz ISO 15693 and ISO 14443 tags, detects the tag type automatically and offers a nominal sensing distance of 20–100 mm depending on the associated tag. It has 2 female M12 Ethernet sockets and 1 male 4-pin M8 power supply socket; the transmission rate is 10–100 Mbit/s.
Thanks to its two M12 Ethernet ports, up to 32 smart antennas can be daisy-chained and looping of the ring network is supported. Up to 123 words are exchanged per transaction; I/O scanning and assembly services give permanent access to the antenna status. The network address is set with the IP Recovery Tool software or with the XGST2020 handheld terminal (from version V2.37). Supply is 24 V DC PELV (19.2–29 V DC) with a current consumption below 150 mA. Operating temperature is -25 to +70 °C, degree of protection IP65 and IK02; the antenna is UL and FCC certified.
