The Siemens 6GT2801-3AA10 is a SIMATIC RF300 RF380R RFID reader with an integrated antenna, communicating over RS422 or RS232 via the 3964R protocol. It is rated IP67 for washdown environments and operates from -10 to +60 °C.
Deployment context
The IP67 rating means the reader body and integrated antenna withstand washdown cleaning, making it suitable for food-and-bev or pharmaceutical lines where sanitation cycles are routine. The RS422/232 interface with 3964R protocol connects to SIMATIC controllers or third-party hosts via a serial drop.
