More Information

Overview Manuals RF Link Host Interface Power & Housing Installation

Features:

  • The integrated antenna exchanges data with RF300 and ISO 15693 transponders at 13.56 MHz.
  • An eight-pole M12 connector provides the serial host path and the 24 V DC supply.
  • IP67 construction and a three-color LED support reader operation in industrial installations.
Siemens 6GT2801-3AB10 converts the transponder response in its antenna field into data for the connected host.

Range on 6GT2801-3AB10 changes with tag type, orientation, surrounding metal, and reader spacing.

The connected controller or PC commands 6GT2801-3AB10 and evaluates returned data and status conditions.

The Siemens 6GT2801-3AB10 SIMATIC RF380R HF RFID Reader may still be available for purchase and support from Apter Power beyond End-Of-Life (EOL) by the manufacturer (OEM).
Siemens 6GT2801-3AB10 SIMATIC RF380R HF RFID Reader Manuals,Datasheets,Link Important Notice: Other accessories, manuals, cables, calibration data, software, etc. are not included with this equipment unless listed in the above stock item description. All prices are shown in USD.

Transponder Communication Path

  • Air interface: The integrated antenna exchanges 13.56 MHz data with the selected tag.
  • Protocol choice: The reader supports RF300-specific and ISO 15693 transponders.
  • Single-tag cycle: The reader communicates with one addressed transponder because multitag operation is not provided.
  • Range control: Tag type, orientation, metal, and neighboring readers influence the usable field.

Reader Data to the Control System

  • RS422 path: The differential interface supports the documented long connection to Siemens communication modules.
  • RS232 path: The point-to-point interface provides the documented shorter PC connection.
  • M12 connection: The eight-pole connector combines communication conductors with the supply path.
  • Command exchange: The host issues read or write commands and evaluates response and error data.

Supply and Environmental Protection

  • Input supply: The reader accepts 24 V DC within the documented 20.4 to 28.8 V range.
  • Current demand: Typical consumption is 0.16 A before cable and supply margins are added.
  • Protection: The closed housing provides IP67 protection with the connector properly installed.
  • Status LED: Three colors distinguish operating, communication, and fault conditions.

Mechanical and RF Placement

  • Fastening: Four M5 points secure the reader to the selected mounting surface.
  • Reader spacing: Adjacent RF380R units require the documented minimum separation to limit field interaction.
  • Metal influence: The mounting surface and surrounding metal are included when validating the reading field.
  • Cable selection: The serial interface, cable length, connector, and host port must describe the same RS422 or RS232 path.
Description
Siemens 6GT2801-3AB10 is a SIMATIC RF380R high-frequency RFID reader with an integrated antenna. It exchanges data with RF300 and ISO 15693 transponders, then transfers the result to a communication module or PC system.

The 13.56 MHz air interface of 6GT2801-3AB10 carries identification data between the antenna field and one transponder at a time. Read and write range depends on the selected tag, mounting material, orientation, and the distance maintained from adjacent readers.

An eight-pole M12 connection on 6GT2801-3AB10 combines the documented serial host interface with the 24 V DC supply. RS422 supports long cable runs toward Siemens communication modules, while RS232 serves the shorter point-to-point PC path.

The IP67 housing of 6GT2801-3AB10 mounts with four M5 fasteners. Its three-color LED reports operating and communication states, while the host program controls commands, evaluates returned data, and handles reader or transponder errors.

FAQS

The following is a list of questions commonly asked by our customers. Please contact us if you have a question about our process that is not answered below.
Why does 6GT2801-3AB10 read one tag but miss another at the same position?
The 6GT2801-3AB10 reading field depends on transponder type, orientation, mounting material, and antenna coupling, so the tags may need different spacing.
What should be checked when 6GT2801-3AB10 has power but no host communication?
Check the 6GT2801-3AB10 RS422 or RS232 selection, M12 pinout, cable length, baud rate, host port, and grounding.
Can 6GT2801-3AB10 read several transponders simultaneously?
No. Siemens 6GT2801-3AB10 does not provide multitag operation, so the host sequence must present and address one transponder at a time.
Why does the reading range of 6GT2801-3AB10 shrink after installation?
Metal, tag orientation, nearby readers, or cable and supply conditions can alter the effective 6GT2801-3AB10 field after mounting.
Which serial path should be used for a long 6GT2801-3AB10 cable run?
Use the documented RS422 path for the long 6GT2801-3AB10 connection; RS232 is the shorter point-to-point interface.
What must be documented before replacing 6GT2801-3AB10?
Record the 6GT2801-3AB10 host interface, M12 wiring, tag family, mounting position, reader spacing, parameters, and tested read range.
