The Siemens 6GT2831-6AA60 is an access control reader from the SIMATIC RF1000 family, designated RF1060R. It reads RFID transponders using ISO 14443 A/B (Mifare) and ISO 15693 protocols via an integrated antenna. Communication to a host system is over a USB port, and it ships with a 1.8 m USB connecting cable. The front face is rated IP65, meaning it withstands hose-down cleaning and dust ingress — appropriate for installation on a panel door or enclosure surface in a production area.
Integration notes
The reader measures 90 x 62 x 25 mm (L x W x H) and is designed for surface mounting on a panel or wall. The IP65 front rating means the seal is on the front face only — the rear connections need to be inside the enclosure or otherwise protected from washdown. The USB interface presents as a standard HID or virtual COM port depending on the host driver; no separate power supply is needed if the USB host can supply 500 mA.
