The Siemens RF200 Reader, part number 6GT2821-2AC10, is a sophisticated device designed for industrial automation applications requiring reliable RFID (Radio Frequency Identification) technology. This reader is part of the SIMATIC RF200 series and is equipped with an RS422 interface, supporting the 3964R communication protocol. It boasts an IP67 rating, ensuring protection against dust and water ingress, making it suitable for challenging environments.

With an operating temperature range of -25 to +70 °C, the RF200 Reader is built to perform under extreme conditions. Its compact design, featuring a diameter of 30mm and a height of 83mm, allows for easy integration into existing systems without requiring significant space. The reader's integrated antenna and a maximum range of 35mm provide efficient and reliable communication with ISO 15693 transponders.

The RF220R model is not multitag-capable, which means it is optimised for applications where single-tag reading is sufficient. The device's 3-color LED display offers clear status indication, and its silicon-free construction makes it suitable for use in various industrial sectors, including automotive, pharmaceutical, and food and beverage.

This reader is engineered for durability and longevity, with a mean time between failures (MTBF) of 501 years, highlighting Siemens' commitment to quality and reliability. The RF200 Reader is an essential component for systems that require precise and dependable RFID reading capabilities.
