ES600 – Network module

• Data transfer between the host application on the desktop / laptop PC, ES910 Prototyping and Interface Module, and multiple measurement, interface or prototyping modules, or XETK ECU interfaces via Gigabit Ethernet
• Six Fast Ethernet device ports with integrated power supply
• Multiple ES600.2 modules can be connected in series
• Precise time synchronization of all connected measuring channels with a precision of at least 1 μs
• Standby function
• Sequential switching-on of connected devices
• Status display for all devices and data transfers
• Stable, functional metal housing

Time synchronization with the ES89x and BR_XETK

If the (X)ETK is replaced by a BR_XETK in the above-mentioned test setup, the IEEE 1588 signal will not be forwarded via the Fast Ethernet port of the ES600. Instead, the two IEEE domains will be displayed separately on the computer. Within the individual domains, time synchronization will continue to take place with microsecond precision. The two time domains are synchronized by INCA with millisecond precision.

Wake-up and stand-by function

With use inside a vehicle, the energy consumption must be as low as possible, because the measuring equipment is supplied by a battery. For this reason, all the connections on the ES600 module are equipped with a link signal detector for an automatic electric power saving function.

The wake-up and stand-by function enables the module to switch automatically between the "Standby" and "On" operating states.

The ES600 and any ETAS modules connected to it will automatically switch to the "Standby" operating state if none of the connections receive link signals any longer or if the ES8xx or host computer is switched off or disconnected. As soon as link signals are received on at least one of the connections or the ES8xx or host computer is activated again, the module will automatically switch from standby to the "On" operating state and will automatically switch on connected ETAS modules in the measuring system.
