The Siemens 6GT2700-3DA23 is a SIMATIC RTLS4030T active UWB transponder for the RTLS4000 real-time locating system, using phase-based UWB technology for sub-meter positioning in industrial environments. It operates in dual frequency bands — 2.4 to 2.48 GHz and 6 to 7 GHz — depending on regional approvals, and communicates via IEEE 802.15.4-2015 UWB HRP PHY. The transponder is battery-powered with a replaceable CR123A cell; typical battery life is one year in standby mode or six months with a 1-second UWB localization cycle. Maximum open-air range is 30 m or 50 m depending on configuration (always follow the manual for site-specific deployment).
Physical integration and mounting
Housed in a translucent PC enclosure measuring 89 mm wide, 30 mm high, and 29 mm deep, with IP54 protection — suitable for indoor industrial environments where dust and splash resistance are needed. Fastened with two M2.5 screws or cable ties; the anthracite color and compact footprint allow discreet mounting on machinery, conveyors, or structural steel. Configuration memory is FLASH-based; a single two-color LED provides local status indication.
This part carries a manufacturer lifecycle status of NRND (Not Recommended for New Designs). It remains available through the authorized channel for existing installations, but new projects should evaluate the current RTLS4000 portfolio for a suitable replacement. Operating and storage temperature range is -10 to +50 °C during read/write access and storage; the transponder is not rated for extended outdoor exposure without additional enclosure protection.
