Frequently asked questions
What is the MTBF of the 6GT2821-5AC10?
The listed MTBF is 430 a.
What is the color of the 6GT2821-5AC10?
The housing color is anthracite.
Will the 6GT2821-5AC10 drop into a panel specified around the 6ES7222-1BF22-0XA0?
No — the 6ES7222-1BF22-0XA0 is a S7-200 digital output module with a different form factor (62 x 45 x 80 mm) and a 24 V DC PLC backplane interface. The RF250R is an RFID reader with an RS422 interface, a 50 x 50 x 30 mm footprint, and requires an external antenna. They are not mechanically or electrically interchangeable.
The housing is PA6.6 (anthracite), 50 x 50 x 30 mm, fastened with two M5 screws, and carries a single M8 connector for an external antenna and an M12 connector for the RS422 interface. Operating temperature spans -20 to +70 °C, so it handles ambient conditions inside a non-conditioned enclosure or near process heat. The 13.56 MHz HF band gives a read range up to 60 mm, though actual reach depends on the transponder type — the RFID system integrator should verify compatibility with the specific tag in use.
