The Siemens 6GT2800-5BE00 is a SIMATIC RF300 RF370T transponder — a passive RFID tag built for industrial identification on the RF300 system. It carries 32 KB of FRAM user memory, operates at 13.56 MHz, and is rated IP68 for submersion. The housing is PA12 in anthracite, sized 75 x 75 x 41 mm, fastened with two M5 screws. This is the tag you spec when the line needs a tough, rewritable data carrier that survives washdown.
IP68 means the tag body and the internal antenna assembly resist continuous immersion — suitable for food-and-bev washdown zones or outdoor conveyor loops. The 13.56 MHz carrier is the global ISM band, so it clears regulatory doors without site-specific licensing. FRAM writes at bus speed with no wear-leveling concern; the 32 KB user space holds a full production trace record or a small work-in-progress dataset. Block-by-block OTP write protection locks critical fields after commissioning. Read range is listed as 135 mm maximum, but the actual reach depends on the RF300 reader model and antenna geometry. The protocol is RF300-specific — not ISO 15693 or 14443 — so it only talks to Siemens RF300 readers. Multitag-capable, so multiple tags in the field can be read in a single cycle. The tag carries cULus approval, meaning it is accepted for installation in the US and Canada under UL listing. Shock resistance per DIN EN 60721-3-7 class 7M3 (500 m/s²) and vibration at 200 m/s² — the tag survives on a robot arm or a vibratory feeder table. Operating temperature during read/write is -25 to +85 °C; outside the read/write area the tag can sit at -40 to +85 °C. Storage temperature matches the wider range. No battery backup — the FRAM is non-volatile and the tag is passive, powered by the reader field.
