Activating QuickConnect (QC)
The devices support QuickConnect. QuickConnect enables the controller to establish connec-
tions to EtherNet/IP nodes in less than 500 ms after the EtherNet/IP™ network is switched on.
This requires the fast startup of the devices, particularly with fast tool changers on robot arms,
e.g. in the automobile industry.
The startup time for the RFID interfaces is less than 150 ms.
QuickConnect can be activated via the web server of the device or in RSLogix via the configura-
tion assembly or class instance attributes.
NOTE
The activation of QuickConnect causes the automatic adaption of all necessary port
properties.
