The compact ES500 ECU and bus interfaces from ETAS integrate the measurement and calibration or diagnostics environment on the host PC with ECUs and vehicle buses via XETK, ETK, FlexRay, CAN, K-Line or LIN interfaces.
Applications
ES500 modules are designed for calibration of in-vehicle electronic systems. The interface modules allow the PC application to communicate with ECUs and monitor vehicle buses.
With each new ECU generation, the number of calibration parameters and measurement signals increases. The XETK/ETK offers an optimal interface to the ECU for acquisition at high data transfer rates. Serial ECU interfaces can be used for calibration in applications with lower data volume. An application protocol is implemented on the development ECU for this purpose. Examples include the ASAM-specified CAN Calibration Protocol (CCP) or the Universal Calibration and Application Protocol (XCP), which is specified for multiple physical layers (CAN, FlexRay, Ethernet). Calibration of series-production ECUs is often carried out using existing diagnostic interfaces such as CAN or K-Line.
All ES500 modules are integrated within INCA. INCA synchronizes calibration data acquired by the ECU and vehicle buses via ECU/bus interface modules using signals from sensors on the testing media. Synchronous data acquisition from different sources allows precise analysis of system behavior. This acquired data forms the basis for high-quality calibration of vehicle systems.
