QuickConnect (QC)
The devices support QuickConnect. QuickConnect enables a PLC to build up connections to
EtherNet/IP nodes in less than 500 ms after switching-on the power supply for the EtherNet/IP
network. The fast start-up is necessary for fast tool changing applications at robot arms for ex-
ample in the automobile industry.
The devices support QuickConnect. The function can only be guaranteed for the digital chan-
nels.
QuickConnect can be activated via the web server in RSLogix, via or via the Configuration As-
sembly or Class Instance Attribute.
NOTE
Activating QuickConnect also activated the automatic setting of all necessary port-
properties.
