The Siemens 6GT2831-6BA60 is an RF1070R access control reader from the SIMATIC RF1000 family. It reads ISO 14443 A/B (Mifare) and ISO 15693 (Legic Prime, Legic Advant) transponders through an integrated antenna, and communicates via a USB port or RS-232 interface. A 1.8 m USB connecting cable is included. Rated for IP65 on the front face, it withstands washdown and dust ingress in indoor or sheltered outdoor positions. The operating range of -25 to +55 °C covers most factory-floor and logistics environments.
Integration notes
The reader measures 90 x 62 x 25 mm (LxWxH) and mounts with the integrated antenna facing the tag approach zone. USB connection to a host controller or PC is via the included 1.8 m cable; RS-232 is available for legacy controller links. The IP65 front rating means the reader face can be panel-mounted in a cutout with a gasket, keeping the electronics behind a sealed boundary.
