Overview Manuals Tag Protocols Serial Routing Metal Mounting Status & Cabling

Features:

  • 6GT2801-3BA10 combines the RF380R reader electronics and antenna in one IP67 housing.
  • The radio side works with RF300-specific and supported ISO transponder protocols.
  • An 8-pin M12 connector carries selectable RS422 or RS232 communication to the host.
A five-color LED gives local operating information without adding a separate indicator module.

Read distance depends on the transponder even though the reader limit is specified at 200 mm.

Direct metal mounting is permitted with a documented minimum separation of 0 mm.

The Siemens 6GT2801-3BA10 SIMATIC RF380R GEN2 Reader may still be available for purchase and support from Apter Power beyond End-Of-Life (EOL) by the manufacturer (OEM).

Radio-Side Selection

  • RF300 mode: The reader exchanges data with Siemens RF300 transponders through its integrated antenna.
  • ISO families: ISO 15693, ISO 18000-3 and ISO 14443 protocols are included in the supported set.
  • Frequency: Every supported tag path operates through the 13.56 MHz reader stage.
  • Single-tag boundary: 6GT2801-3BA10 does not provide multitag operation.

Reader-to-Host Connection

  • Port hardware: RS422 and RS232 signals share the reader's 8-pin M12 connector.
  • Host destination: The serial point-to-point path connects the reader to a communication module or PC system.
  • Short run: RS232 wiring is limited to a maximum of 30 m.
  • Long run: RS422 extends the documented cable distance to 1,000 m.

Antenna Placement Rules

  • Housing position: The antenna is integrated into the RF380R enclosure rather than connected externally.
  • Metal clearance: Siemens specifies a recommended minimum metal separation of 0 mm.
  • Fastening: Four M5 screws secure the reader, with a maximum tightening torque of 1.5 N·m.
  • Range check: Final placement must account for the transponder-dependent reading distance.

Local Indication and Limits

  • Status display: A five-color LED reports the reader's local operating state.
  • Supply path: The electronics accept 20.4–28.8 V DC around a 24 V nominal supply.
  • Enclosure: IP67 protection applies to the assembled reader housing.
  • Temperature span: Reader operation is specified from -25 to +70 °C.
Description
Siemens 6GT2801-3BA10 is the RF380R GEN2 reader in the SIMATIC RF300 identification family. Its integrated antenna exchanges data with RF300, ISO 15693, ISO 18000-3 and ISO 14443 transponders at 13.56 MHz.

Radio transfer through 6GT2801-3BA10 reaches 106 kbit/s, with typical read and write processing of 0.13 ms per byte. The maximum reading distance is 200 mm, but the actual range is set by the selected transponder and installation arrangement; multitag operation is not supported.

On the host side, 6GT2801-3BA10 provides RS422 and RS232 through an 8-pin M12 connection. Point-to-point communication runs at up to 115.2 kbit/s, with a maximum documented cable length of 30 m for RS232 and 1,000 m for RS422.

The IP67 enclosure of 6GT2801-3BA10 accepts a 20.4–28.8 V DC supply and operates from -25 to +70 °C. The reader can be mounted directly against metal with the documented 0 mm minimum spacing, and a five-color LED reports local status.

Siemens 6GT2801-3BA10 supports RF300-specific, ISO 15693, ISO 18000-3 and ISO 14443 protocols; the selected transponder must belong to that supported set.
Why can the actual read distance of 6GT2801-3BA10 be shorter than 200 mm?
The 200 mm value is the maximum for 6GT2801-3BA10, while the installed transponder type determines the attainable range.
Should 6GT2801-3BA10 use RS232 or RS422 for a long cable run?
RS232 on 6GT2801-3BA10 is limited to 30 m, whereas RS422 permits a documented maximum of 1,000 m.
Can 6GT2801-3BA10 read several transponders at the same time?
No. The Siemens data sheet identifies 6GT2801-3BA10 as not multitag-capable.
Does a metal mounting surface require an air gap behind 6GT2801-3BA10?
Siemens gives 6GT2801-3BA10 a recommended minimum mounting distance of 0 mm relative to metal surfaces.
What operating limits must the enclosure plan preserve for 6GT2801-3BA10?
The installed 6GT2801-3BA10 must remain within -25 to +70 °C, use its sealed IP67 connection arrangement and stay inside the 20.4–28.8 V DC supply range.
