Overview Manuals Specifications Application Configuration Performance and Efficiency

Features:

  • The MA-0185-100 features electrical isolation between drop and trunk cables for Modicon Quantum networks.
  • This model protects the system from impedance mismatches and cable disconnection issues.
  • The MA-0185-100 is supplied as a single tap accessory with 18-month warranty coverage.
The MA-0185-100 provides essential protection functions common to the entire Modicon Quantum network, and is a critical component directly affecting the reliability of the overall control system. It protects the system from impedance mismatches that can occur when cables are improperly terminated or when devices are added or removed. The MA-0185-100 also safeguards against network disruptions caused by cable disconnection by isolating the affected drop from the trunk line.

For applications requiring robust network infrastructure, the MA-0185-100 ensures that individual field device connections do not compromise the integrity of the entire communication backbone. When a drop cable is disconnected, the MA-0185-100 prevents this event from affecting other devices on the network. This isolation capability allows maintenance activities on individual drops without shutting down or disrupting the broader control network.

The MA-0185-100 represents a complete connection solution for Modicon Quantum networks requiring reliable drop-to-trunk interfaces. This tap accessory addresses the pain point of network-wide failures by electrically isolating each drop connection. The MA-0185-100 ensures consistent network performance across manufacturing, process control, and infrastructure applications where Modicon Quantum systems are deployed.

The MA-0185-100 Schneider Electric Coaxial Cable Tap may still be available for purchase and support from Apter Power beyond End-Of-Life (EOL) by the manufacturer (OEM).

General

  • Manufacturer Schneider Electric
  • Model MA-0185-100
  • Condition New Original ready stock
  • Product Family MA-0186-100,MA-0187-100,MA-0188-100
Important Notice: Other accessories, manuals, cables, calibration data, software, etc. are not included with this equipment unless listed in the above stock item description. All prices are shown in USD.
  • Infrastructure Control: Such as subway ventilation systems and decentralized pumping stations in large water treatment plants.
  • Process Industries: Monitoring of production lines spanning multiple regions in oil and gas and chemical plants.
  • Mining and Heavy Industry: Used to extend control signals to remote cabinets several kilometers away.
  • Physical Installation: Typically mounted on a DIN rail or rack back panel. It has three interfaces: two for trunk cable entry/exit and one for connecting the drop cable to a local station.
  • Network Termination: At the very end of the network, an MA-0186-100 (75Ω terminating resistor) must be installed to prevent signal reflection.
  • Address Setting: Although the tap does not require configuration, the connected RIO communication modules (such as the 140CRP/CRA series) must have their station addresses assigned and I/O mapped in Concept or Unity Pro (EcoStruxure Control Expert) software.
  • Low Insertion Loss: Branch loss is approximately 14 dB, precisely calculated to support a total backbone length of up to 4,500 meters (even longer with repeaters).
  • Hot-Swap Efficiency: Allows specific drop sites to be disconnected or repaired without interrupting backbone network communication, greatly improving system maintainability.
  • Environmental Adaptability: Its rugged design resists strong electromagnetic interference (EMI) and is more stable than conventional Ethernet in environments with electric shock or high noise.
Description
The MA-0185-100 serves as a specialized tap accessory for the Modicon Quantum automation platform, designed specifically for drop cable and trunk cable connections. This component provides critical electrical isolation between the drop and trunk cables, preventing ground loops and signal interference that could compromise network reliability.

The MA-0185-100 addresses two fundamental network challenges: protecting the system from impedance mismatches and preventing issues caused by cable disconnection. By maintaining proper impedance matching, the MA-0185-100 ensures signal integrity across the Modicon Quantum network, reducing data errors and communication failures. 

Each MA-0185-100 is supplied as a set of one tap, with an 18-month warranty period providing assurance of quality and reliability. The MA-0185-100 is engineered to meet the demanding requirements of industrial automation environments where network uptime and signal integrity are critical. 

The MA-0185-100 represents a essential connection component for Modicon Quantum networks requiring reliable drop and trunk cable interfaces. This tap solves the pain point of network disruptions caused by individual device disconnection by electrically isolating drops from the main trunk. The MA-0185-100 ensures that Modicon Quantum systems maintain communication integrity even when field devices are added, removed, or experience connection issues.

FAQS

The following is a list of questions commonly asked by our customers. Please contact us if you have a question about our process that is not answered below.
How does the MA-0185-100 protect the Modicon Quantum network from individual device disconnection?
The MA-0185-100 electrically isolates each drop from the trunk, so when a device is disconnected, only that drop is affected while the main trunk and other drops continue operating normally.
What role does the MA-0185-100 play in maintaining signal integrity?
By preventing impedance mismatches, the MA-0185-100 ensures proper signal termination and reflection control, reducing data errors and communication failures across the entire Modicon Quantum network.
Why is electrical isolation between drop and trunk important in industrial networks?
Isolation prevents ground loops and electrical noise from propagating between segments, ensuring that field device issues do not compromise the main network backbone's reliability.
