The Siemens 6GT2800-6BE00 is a SIMATIC RF300 transponder, type RF370T, built around a 64 KB FRAM memory block with an additional 65277 bytes of user-accessible storage. It operates at 13.56 MHz using the RF300-specific radio protocol, which means it talks exclusively to RF300 read/write heads — not to generic HF RFID readers. The 75 x 75 x 41 mm housing in PA12 (anthracite) is rated IP68, so it survives continuous immersion and high-pressure washdown on a production line. Mounting is via two M5 screws; no DIN rail clip, so plan for direct panel or machine-frame attachment.
IP68 rating seals against dust ingress and continuous submersion. Operating temperature during read/write access spans -25 to +85 °C, with storage range from -40 to +85 °C.
Memory architecture and data handling
Memory is organized as a 4-byte UID, 65277 bytes of user memory, and 20 bytes of OTP memory. The FRAM / EEPROM type provides fast write cycles. Block-by-block write protection on the OTP segment locks configuration data permanently.
Mechanical and environmental robustness
Shock resistance is rated per DIN EN 60721-3-7 Class 7M3 at 500 m/s², and vibrational acceleration at 200 m/s². That puts it in the range for mounting on vibrating machinery — conveyors, sorters, press lines — without data loss or physical failure. The PA12 housing is silicon-free, which matters for paint-shop or clean-room applications where silicone outgassing can cause adhesion or contamination issues.
