It communicates via an IO-Link V1.1 interface to a master, with a maximum cable length of 20 m between reader and master. The integrated antenna gives a read/write range up to 65 mm, though actual range depends on the transponder type — Siemens application note 67384964 covers the pairing.","metaTitle":"Siemens 6GT2821-4BC32 SIMATIC RF240R RFID Reader, IO-Link, I","metaDescription":"Siemens 6GT2821-4BC32 SIMATIC RF200 RF240R RFID reader.
