1.1.4 Intended Use
The ES4440.2 Compact Failure Simulation Module is a standalone unit which
electrically simulates faults in automotive ECUs in real time. The unit can also be
installed as part of a hardware-in-the-loop test system.
The ES4440.2 Compact Failure Simulation Module consists of:
• A microcontroller which is part of the ES4440.2
– The microcontroller is programmed with ETAS software
• An Ethernet and a CAN interface for the configuration and control of the
ES4440.2
• Interfaces to feed in ECU signals
• An interface to synchronize several ES4440.2
• An interface for the connection of different voltages (e.g. T15, T30,
T31,…)
– The ES4440.2 can not generate these voltages
• A resistor cascade which is part of the ES4440.2
The ES4440.2 Compact Failure Simulation Module can be installed in a 19" rack
system or can be used as a standalone unit.
Please read the documentation accompanying the product ("ETAS Safety
Advice Housing" and this User’s Guide) carefully before using the product.
The safety of the system in which the ES4440.2 Compact Failure Simulation
Module was installed is the responsibility of the person who assembled the
system!
