Implementation of EtherNet/IP™
D301271 1013 - FGEN - multi protocol7-4
7.2 QC - QuickConnect
7.2.1 General
QuickConnect enables a PLC to build up connections to EtherNet/IP™-nodes in less than 300 ms after
switching-on the power supply for the EtherNet/IP™-network. This fast start up of devices is above all
necessary for robotic tool changes for example in the automobile industry.
7.2.2 QuickConnect in FGEN
TURCK FGEN-stations support QuickConnect.
QuickConnect is activated:
via the configuration data in the PLC-program per
Assembly Class 0×04, Configuration Assembly 106, bit 9 = 1
(see also chapter 8, Activating QuickConnect (page 8-13)
or
via Class Instance Attribute in
TCP/IP Interface Object (0×F5), instance 1, attribute 12 (0×C0)
Note
For correct cabling with FGEN in QC-applications, see Ethernet-connection in QC-/FSU-
applications (page 3-6).
Note
Activating the QuickConnect-function leads to the automatical setting of all necessary port-
properties:
