The Siemens 6GT2803-1FA10 is a SIMATIC RF360H HF RFID reader module operating at 13.56 MHz. It is not a standalone device — it must be paired with the RF160B basic device (order code 6GT2003-0FA00), which supplies power and system-internal communication. The module is suited for RF300, RF200/ISO 15693, and MOBY E transponders, and is specifically noted for handling small transponders.
The 100 mm read range is dependent on the type of external antenna connected; do not treat it as a fixed value when planning your installation. The module supports multiple protocols — RF300-specific, ISO 15693, ISO 18000-3, and ISO 14443 — at a maximum transfer rate of 106 kbit/s. It is not multitag-capable, so plan for single-tag reads per interrogation cycle.
Integration constraints
The module measures 85 mm wide, 89 mm high, and 41 mm deep. It connects via a system-internal interface to the RF160B basic device, which handles power supply and host communication. The external antenna is a separate accessory; range and performance depend on the antenna selected.
