How much time does your PowerFlex drive with ethernet module take to become "ready" on power up?
Here's one setup I have - CLX 1756-L63 B cpu with a 1756-ENBT module in the chassis connected to a 10/100 Hirschman switch, 5 PowerFlex 70EC drives.
Looking at the communication status lights, it appears the COM-E module is ready within a few seconds. However, the connection from the drive to processor varies from 5 seconds to 30 seconds. IP addresses are programmed in (No DHCP/BOOTP) and all devices are set on auto-negotiate.
The processor obviously polls to check for the drives, but it seems like it should be consistent - at least within a few seconds. Anyone have ideas or experiences to share? I need to consistently have the drive ready in under 10 seconds of power on.
Thanks,
J
