4.5 Using QuickConnect
EIP-200S Ethernet/IP Adapter Distributed I/O System
88 System Manual, 06/2018, A5E44345053-AB
The following steps describe a robot system as an example:
1. The controller inhibits current connections to QuickConnect modules, and the robot arm
physically disengages the current tool.
2. The robot arm physically attaches a new QuickConnect module.
3. The new QuickConnect module powers up.
4. The controller acknowledges a successful attachment to a new tool via an electrical lock
signal.
5. Upon receiving the electrical lock signal, the controller waits for the devices to start up
before uninhibiting a new set of I/O connections and then connects to the new
QuickConnect module.
6. When all connections are established, the robot is ready for operation.
Procedures for using QuickConnect
Rate 100 Mbps
Auto-MDIX Off
To enable the use of QuickConnect, perform the following steps:
1. Connect the EIP-200S Ethernet/IP Adapter to a managed switch with the switch port set
to autonegotiation off and auto crossover (auto-MDIX) off, with the same fixed baud rate
and duplex as the device. An Ethernet straight-through cable (1:1) can be used by
connecting to Port 2 on the EIP-200S because Port 2 is crossed over internally. (A
connection to Port 1 on the EIP-200S would require a crossover cable). Another option is
to have more than one EIP-200S set up this way and connect them in a daisy chain with
Port 2 of one device connected to Port 1 of the other. This can be done with
straight-through cables.
2. Using the ZNX-EIP-200S Configuration Tool, turn autonegotiation off and set a fixed baud
rate and duplex.
3. Turn on QuickConnect with the Configuration Tool.
