Festo CPX-FB36-EN en 1611a English
The EtherNet/IP "QuickConnect" function enables a quicker
initialisation of the CPX terminal and a fast connection set-up
to the EtherNet/IP master.
"QuickConnect" is commonly used for applications with a tool
change, for which the downtime should be minimised by the
disconnection and connection of devices.
Note
"QuickConnect" only works if this function is supported by
all participating devices.
Make sure that intermediate switches and routers in
•
your network support this function.
The "QuickConnect" function in the bus node is in a deactiv­
ated state when delivered.
Using "QuickConnect":
1. Activate "QuickConnect" via attribute 12 of the TCP/IP
interface object (è C.2.3). This automatically deactivates
"Crossover" detection in the bus node.
2. Restart the bus node so that the revised network settings
can be taken over.
3. Use the same settings for baud rate and duplex mode at
the counterpart station (e.g. switch) and at the PLC as in
the bus node.
For fast connection set-up:
– 100 MBit/s
– Full duplex
4. Activate "QuickConnect" in the PLC or the control program.
