ES4440.2 Compact Failure Simulation Module - User’s Guide16
Introduction ETAS
Status Displays via LEDs on the Front Panel
There are several LEDs on the front panel of the ES4440.2 Compact Failure Sim-
ulation Module which provide information on operating states of the ES4440.2
and the communication interfaces. For more details on the LEDs, refer to the
section "Status Displays via LEDs on the Front Panel" on page 24.
Fuses
The ES4440.2 Compact Failure Simulation Module is protected against overcur-
rents with fuses. When a reset
1
takes place, the fuse state is queried and trans-
ferred to the control software. The fuse monitor is designed so that there are no
disturbing influences on the ECU signals.
For more details on the fuses used and how to change them, refer to the section
"Safety Concept" on page 27.
1.7.3 Application Environment
Master/Slave Operation of Several ES4440.2 Systems
If greater demands are made of the number of channels than can be catered for
with one ES4440.2 Compact Failure Simulation Module (64 + 16), you can use
several ES4440.2s. A dedicated master synchronizes failure simulation on the
connected slave systems.
This takes place by connecting the failure rails and the synchronization lines of
the ES4440.2s involved and assigning corresponding IP addresses in the operat-
ing software LABCAR-PINCONTROL.
Communication Interfaces
The ES4440.2 Compact Failure Simulation Module has interfaces for communi-
cation via the Ethernet and CAN protocol. The relevant APIs are described in the
LABCAR-PINCONTROL User's Guide.
When using the LABCAR-PINCONTROL software on a host system, communica-
tion takes place by Ethernet – otherwise the ES4440.2 can also be controlled
using a CANbus.
In addition, it is also possible to realize complex hardware configurations in a HiL
system with a real-time PC as simulation target and an ES600 Network Module
(see the chapter "Accessories" on page 45).
LABCAR-PINCONTROL
LABCAR-PINCONTROL (Version 2.0 and higher) provides an easy-to-use user
interface in which all failures can be activated and reset.
LABCAR-PINCONTROL has, in particular, the following features:
• Creating and managing failure sets. A failure set is a group of ECU signals
(e.g. all signals of the oxygen sensor)
1.
When a reset takes place, all relays are set to a state in which no failures are
switched any more.
Using the LABCAR-PINCONTROL software requires communication by Ethernet
between the host and the ES4440.2.
