The Siemens 6GT2810-2DC10 is a SIMATIC RF640T Tool Tag — a compact on-metal UHF RFID transponder built for industrial asset tracking. It operates in the 902 to 928 MHz FCC band using the EPCglobal Class 1 Gen 2 / ISO 18000-63 protocol, with a NXP G2XM chip inside. The 50 mm diameter by 8 mm height form factor mounts directly to metal surfaces using two M4 screws, and the PA12 housing with IP68/IPx9K protection means it survives washdown cycles, coolant spray, and outdoor exposure on a production line.
The 4 m read range is the maximum under ideal conditions — actual performance depends on the reader model, antenna placement, and the metal mounting surface. The tag is designed for on-metal use, so it won't detune when screwed onto a steel tool holder or machine body. The 64-byte user memory (512 bit) stores application data like tool ID, calibration date, or maintenance counters alongside the 96-bit EPC, expandable to 240 bits. Operating temperature during read/write is -25 to +85 °C, with storage tolerance from -40 to +125 °C, covering most factory floor conditions including paint ovens and cold storage.
Integration notes
Mounting uses two M4 screws through the tag body — no special bracket needed. The RF600 system manual warns that overrange is possible beyond 4 m, and actual range is reader-dependent.
