Boot-Duration of real ctrlX Core X3

Hello all,

We ran some tests with different ctrlC X3 Cores. Here we measured the boot-up time.

crtlX Core Runtime 1.20.    1 drive connected  :

  • Cold boot: (Core with 15 apps) 2 min 12 sec.
  • EtherCat real-time channel setup and Nodes recognized: 42 sec.
  • Switching drives into OP mode: 7 sec.

Total: 3 min and 1 sec.

For some customers this time is too long.  Are there ways to speed up this action, or does the X7 start up faster? ?

 

Regards Johs Heijmink.

I've made a quick test with a core X3 and version 2.6.1 and two drives (doubleaxis). Installed apps: Ethercat, Motion, OPC-UA, PLC, 3D-Viewer, WebIQ.

  • Boot time until reachable via Web-UI: 1min 30 sec
  • Time until ethercat is in OP:   2min

I think it is worth if you made a test with your settings and the version 2.6... (now available at the collaboration room)

Regards

Jochen
