It operates at 13.56 MHz and supports RF300-specific, ISO 15693, ISO 18000-3, and ISO 14443 protocols, plus MOBY E transponders. The RS422 interface uses the 3964R protocol, with a maximum cable length of 1000 m. Read and write access per byte is 0.13 ms typical. Maximum transfer rate is 106 kbit/s. Read range is 140 mm maximum, but this is transponder-dependent — check the Siemens support note for your specific tag type. ## Hazardous area certification This variant carries ATEX marking II 3 G Ex ec IIB T4 Gc and II 3 D Ex tc IIIC T80 °C Dc, plus IECEx certification. That means it is approved for Zone 2 (gas) and Zone 22 (dust) hazardous areas — common in chemical blending, pharmaceutical granulation, and grain handling. ## Power and mounting Runs on 24 VDC nominal (20.4 to 28.8 V range), drawing 0.06 A typical. Connection is via an M12 8-pin male connector. Mounts with two M5 screws through the 75 x 75 mm face; the housing is PA 12 plastic in Ti gray. Dimensions are 75 mm wide, 75 mm deep, 41 mm tall — compact enough for tight panel or machine-frame placement. Vibration resistance is 200 m/s², shock resistance 500 m/s² per EN 60721-3-7 Class 7 M2.","metaTitle":"Siemens 6GT2801-2BA10-0AX2 RF340R RFID Reader, RS422, ATEX,","metaDescription":"SIMATIC RF300 RF340R RFID reader with integrated antenna.
