The ES580 is a compact PC-card (PCMCIA) which fits into a type II PC-card slot of a PC or notebook. The two independent CAN interfaces of the ES580 card establish an easy and direct connection between the PC and the CAN network. Having two CAN interfaces, enables to measure and calibrate using the first interface while monitoring CAN messages via the second interface.
The intelligence of ES580 is encapsulated in a high-performance microcontroller, which can ccommodate the highest bus loads. Two stand-alone Philips CAN controllers operate the two CAN interfaces. The relevant CAN transceivers are part of the cables. This means you can work with high-speed and low-speed applications by simply swapping the cables.
Therefore, ES580 is a compact, high-performance, inexpensive, and easy-to-handle solution for your PC-supported calibration using CAN.
