3.1.1.3 Notes re. EtherCAT Fast Hot Connect technology
EtherCAT components that support Fast Hot Connect enable a faster fieldbus boot up following the
establishment of a connection. The boot up depends in detail on the number of devices, the topology and
activated Distributed Clocks. Whereas the normal establishment of a connection and communication takes
several seconds, less than 1 second is possible with FHC components.
Properties and system behavior
• Fast Hot Connect is supported from TwinCAT 2.11R3 Build 2221.
• Fast Hot Connect ports are specially marked.
