Selecting a Set for the Measurement Task

Selection needs the task (vehicle, test bench or laboratory), ECU type and microcontroller, buses and the number of measurement channels. From these data we define the ECU interface, the measurement modules and the module that links to the PC. ETK, FETK and XETK interfaces are made for specific NXP, Infineon, Renesas, Texas Instruments and STMicroelectronics microcontrollers.

Module and Software Compatibility

ES4xx, ES6xx and ES9xx modules are joined over Ethernet in chains and clusters with time synchronization better than a microsecond. The ES523 and ES600 power connected modules over Ethernet, and the ES800 system is stacked without additional cables. Before ordering we check module and INCA versions: for example, CBN4xx probes need ES4xx modules of version 2.0 or higher.

Design and Operating Conditions

ES4xx measurement modules come in an IP67 housing and operate from -40 to +120 °C; they are tested for shock, vibration, drop, salt fog and impact from flying rocks according to DIN EN 60068 and ISO 16750. The ES592 and ES595 interface modules are rated for -40 to +70 °C and a 7-29 V supply with reverse-voltage and load-dump protection.

Supply, Documentation and Replacement Modules

Selection is based on ETAS technical data, product descriptions and user guides. For systems already in service we select a replacement module by the marking on the housing and the version, for example ES582.1, ES592.1 or ES910.3. Send a photo of the marking and a description of the set; diagnostics and repair are available on request.

What We Do Not Confirm

We are neither a distributor nor a representative of ETAS. The manufacturer does not publish a public price list or a list of order numbers: prices, availability and lead times are set when a specific position is quoted. Certificates and delivery terms for specific versions require separate confirmation.
