Overview

The Honeywell MU-NTAP02 (Part No. 51201394-100) is a UCN 2-Drop Tap Kit designed for Honeywell Universal Control Network (UCN) systems. It provides a robust interface for connecting two UCN devices directly to the trunk line without disrupting live processes. The kit ensures secure communication, minimized network noise, and simplified installation, making it highly suitable for mission-critical distributed control environments.

Additionally, the MU-NTAP02 supports passive monitoring of network traffic, enabling engineers to analyze communication between controllers and I/O modules. Operators benefit from improved network reliability, diagnostics, and scalability across complex industrial systems.

Technical Data

Typical Applications

• Oil & Gas: Connecting distributed controllers and analyzers to UCN networks in wellhead and pipeline systems.

• Petrochemicals: Providing secure communication between process control modules and field devices.

• Power Generation: Linking turbine and boiler controllers to the UCN trunk line.

• Chemical Manufacturing: Ensuring reliable integration of analyzers, sensors, and controllers into Honeywell networks.

• Industrial Automation: Supporting diagnostics and monitoring of UCN traffic in Experion PKS environments.

The MU-NTAP02 is often deployed in redundant configurations where continuous uptime and diagnostic visibility are critical.
