What is the primary function of this Schneider part?
This Schneider part is a coaxial cable splitter designed for use with the Modicon Quantum automation platform.
Can this splitter be used in any network topology?
No, this splitter is specifically designed for use in Hot Standby (HSBY) systems and should not be used in other network topologies.
How many of these splitters can be used in a single network?
Only one MA-0186-100 splitter is allowed in a single network to ensure proper functionality.
What type of environment is this splitter suitable for?
This splitter is suitable for environments with a relative humidity of up to 95%.
What are the recommended cables to use with this splitter?
For trunk cables, RG-11 is recommended, and for drop cables, RG-6 is recommended.
What should be considered when grounding the cable system?
The cable system should be grounded at only one point within 6 meters of the RIO processor to ensure proper grounding.
What is the impact of using more than one splitter in a network?
Using more than one splitter in a network can cause unexpected behaviour and equipment damage.
What is the importance of maintaining proper cable impedance?
Maintaining a proper impedance of 75 Ohms across the entire network is crucial to avoid signal reflections and ensure reliable communication.
What are the installation recommendations for this splitter?
Ensure that the splitter is installed in a dedicated enclosure away from power cables and other sources of electromagnetic interference.
What should be done if the network experiences high electromagnetic interference?
In environments with high electromagnetic interference, it is recommended to use optical fibre media to provide electrical isolation and avoid electromagnetic coupling.
