What This Tag Does and Where It Goes
The Siemens 6GT2810-2EC00 is a SIMATIC RF630T on-metal UHF RFID tag built for the RF600 reader system. It operates in the 865–868 MHz ETSI band using the EPCglobal Class 1 Gen 2 / ISO 18000-63 protocol with a maximum transfer rate of 320 kbit/s. The NXP G2XM chip inside gives you 96-bit EPC memory expandable to 240 bit, plus 64 byte of user memory — enough to carry a serial number, maintenance history, or a production lot code alongside the asset ID. The IP68/IPx9K rating means this tag survives continuous immersion and high-pressure hot-water washdown. On a food line or a paint shop floor, that is the difference between a tag that lasts the asset life and one that delaminates after the first sanitation cycle. The PA6.6 GF / stainless steel housing and M6 screw mount make it a permanent fixture — you bolt it onto a metal surface and it stays there.
Mounting and Environmental Reality
This is an on-metal transponder — the antenna is tuned for direct mounting on metallic surfaces, where standard tags detune and drop read range. The 21 mm diameter × 20 mm height form factor fits into a drilled hole or onto a flat face. Fasten it with an M6 screw; torque it to the tag's base and you are done. No standoff, no foam spacer. The operating temperature range during read/write access is -25 to +85 °C; outside the read/write area it tolerates -40 to +125 °C. That covers a hot engine block, a steam-sterilized vessel, or a freezer-aisle pallet. Shock resistance is 1000 m/s² per DIN EN 60721-3-7 Class 7M3 — it stays readable on a vibratory conveyor or a press die.
