The Siemens 6GT2701-5DA13 is a SIMATIC RTLS Anchor RTLS4030A — a fixed-position reference node for the RTLS4000 real-time locating system using UWB phase technology. It operates on two radio bands: 3.1 to 7 GHz and 2.4 to 2.48 GHz, with IEEE 802.15.4 UWB as its primary ranging protocol and a mesh network for backhaul communication. The anchor draws up to 0.3 A at 24 VDC nominal (8 to 30 VDC supply range accepted) via a Bulgin PX0412/03P 3-pin connector, with a single digital output.
The anchor is rated for two maximum ranges: 30 m and 500 m, both for open-air applications. The 30 m figure reflects the practical UWB ranging limit under typical industrial multipath conditions; the 500 m figure applies to the mesh backhaul link between anchors in line-of-sight. Typical localization accuracy is 0.2 m for the primary UWB range and 1 m for the secondary — meaning the system can resolve a tag's position to within 20 cm in a well-planned environment, which is sufficient for asset tracking and zone-based personnel safety in most manufacturing and logistics layouts.
The housing is IP65-rated (ASA+PC material, Ti gray), so the anchor withstands washdown and dust ingress — suitable for deployment on factory floors, warehouses, or outdoor logistics yards. Mounting is via 3 M4 screws; the accessory list includes a corner mount bracket and a ceiling suspension plate. Dimensions are 180 mm wide, 180 mm deep, and 48 mm tall. Operating, storage, and transport temperature range is -15 to +50 °C.
