Commissioning
5.5 Using QuickConnect
ET 200pro distributed I/O EtherNet/IP interface module
60 Manual, 03/2016, A5E32861915-AB
Architecture
A QuickConnect system consists of two sides: a controller side and a tool side.
The controller side might include some of the following components:
● Robot with a tool-changing coupler
● Robot controller
● Managed switch
● EtherNet/IP communication modules
● EtherNet/IP network
● EtherNet/IP-based I/O devices
The tool side typically consists of multiple tools that include these components:
● A tool-changing coupler
● EtherNet/IP network
● EtherNet/IP-based I/O devices with QuickConnect capability

Guidelines for using QuickConnect on your network
QuickConnect and the EIP ET200 Configuration Tool
Use the EIP ET200 Configuration Tool to enable QuickConnect, to turn off autonegotiation,
and to set a fixed baud rate and duplex.
Note that if QuickConnect is turned on in the ET 200pro EtherNet/IP module, you should not
use the ET 200pro EtherNet/IP Configuration Tool to perform a firmware update because the
self-checks are turned off in that mode.
Requirements
An EtherNet/IP QuickConnect system requires an electrical lock signal. The electrical lock
signal indicates that the tool changer has applied power to the tool. This is a hard-wired
signal that must be implemented by the system builder. This signal must run from the tool
changer back to the control system and must be connected to a digital input module. This
signal is the event that starts the QuickConnect sequence.
