This chapter contains information on the following topics:
• “Wiring Concepts in Test Vehicles” on page 14
• “Features of the ES400 Line” on page 15
• “Housing” on page 16
• “Ports” on page 17
• “LED” on page 18
3.1 Wiring Concepts in Test Vehicles
For the test phase, several hundred sensors must be installed in a test vehicle
in various areas, e.g. in the engine compartment and in the floor area. The sensors, which are positioned all over the vehicle, then have to be connected to the
measuring instruments of the test setup.
Today’s standard solutions with their central setup of measuring instruments
inside the vehicle require complex cabling to connect the widely distributed
sensors with the measuring instruments. Numerous, usually long connection
cables between the sensors and the measuring instruments, bundled together
to form several fat wiring harnesses, require a highly modified splash wall of
the test vehicle. This involves long setting-up times as well as high costs.
Fig. 3-1 Central and Decentral Sensor Cabling
With the ES400 modules, ETAS provides a decentral solution which consider-
ably simplifies the test setup of the sensors.
The basic idea of this concept is to install the modules of the ES400 family as
close as possible to the sensors, to concatenate the modules with each other
and to connect just the first module of this chain with the laptop in the vehicle.
ES420.1 - User’s Guide 14
ETAS ES400 Product Family
3.2 Features of the ES400 Line
3.2.1 Advantages of the Decentral Wiring Concept
• The compact ES400 modules can be mounted close to the sensors with
short connection cables.
• The simple assembly and wiring principle (daisy chain topology) of the
modules
– requires only one common cable between the modules for power
supply and data transfer
– considerably reduces the setting-up times for tests
– simplifies the maintenance and the extension of the test setup
• The only item in the vehicle is the laptop which is connected to the mod-
ules with just one cable.
• Test vehicles equipped with an ES400 measurement system can be
used flexibly because the vehicles do not have to be modified for
changed or new test tasks.
3.2.2 Further Features
This list provides an overview of the other features of the ES400 line in addition
to decentral cabling:
• The ES400 modules have a very compact design.
• Each module has an LED for localizing the module.
• The Thermo Modules of the ES400 family use a XCP-based protocol
which is compatible to the existing ETAS Ethernet topology.
The concept fulfills the following requirements:
– high bandwidth to be able to realize lots of channels with high resolu-
tions (typical in measuring and calibration applications) with fast
sampling rates
– simple application based on the Ethernet integration in INCA, no com-
plicated setting of bus parameters,
– simple to integrate in measurement and calibration tools manufac-
tured by third-party suppliers due to the use of XCP as application
protocol
– support of all probes and pressure sensors used in the automotive
industry
• Innovative, battery-saving power supply management
– automatic power-saving feature (“Standby”)
– “Wake Up” via the Ethernet interface
• Part of the ETAS Tool Suite
• Daisy Chain Configuration Tool (stand-alone operation)
ES420.1 - User’s Guide 15
ETAS ES400 Product Family
• Modules suitable for use in automotive applications; suitable for use in
the development environment and in the vehicle on test drives:
– Housing, connectors and cables waterproof and dustproof in acc.
with IP65 or IP67; designed for use in the engine compartment or the
outside area of the vehicle
– rugged to acceleration or mechanical damage
– rugged to extreme environmental conditions (temperature, damp-
ness, EMC)
– very low temperature coefficients contribute to the reduction in the
number of measurement errors
For the complete technical data of the ES420.1, refer to the chapter “Technical
Data” on page 65.
3.3 Housing
A sturdy metal housing is used for the ES420.1; it has ports on the front of the
device so it can fit into tight spaces. The ES420.1 is specifically designed to be
installed in engine compartment, but also in the passenger cell.
The housings of the ES400 family can quickly and easily be connected to one
another to create a measurement system (see section 5.2 on page 33). The
modules can easily be screwed directly to a carrier system or attached to it
using cable fasteners both in the vehicle and in the lab.
These simple and uncomplicated ways of attaching the modules make them
flexible in terms of assembly. These methods of attachment can also be used
in harsh environmental conditions (salt fog, dirt).
CAUTION
Loss of Features as defined by IP67!
Do not open or change the module housing!
Works on the module housing may be executed only by qualified technical
personnel.

3.4 Ports
All ports of the ES400 measuring modules are on the front of the device (see
Fig. 3-2 on page 17).
The LEMO and Souriau connectors used adhere to protection class IP67. All
ports are reverse-polarity protected due to the exclusive use of coded LEMO or
Souriau connectors.
Fig. 3-2 Front
3.4.1 “Sensor” Port
The front of the ES420.1 features a 22-pin Souriau port to which four sensors
can be connected using a adapter cable. An individual sensor power supply
port is available for each sensor.
The use of a “cable tail” or “whip” solution with just one connector makes it
possible to change the modules quickly within complex test setups.
3.4.2 Daisy Chain Ports (“IN”, “OUT”)
The modules are connected using a daisy chain topology. This means each
module has an explicit input socket and an explicit output socket. The Ethernet
data line and the supply voltage are routed through the daisy chain ports of the
module:
• “IN” (input)
• “OUT” (output)
The PC, the modules ES523, ES59x, ES600.2, ES891, ES910.3 or the Drive
Recorder ES720 are connected at the “IN” port (input). The “OUT” port (output)
is connected to the following module of the ES400 line or remains free on the
last module of the chain.

4.2 Block Diagram
Fig. 4-2 Block Diagram
The ES420.1 is a module with eight identical sensor channels with common
Cold Junction Compensation, two shared Ethernet interfaces and a power supply.
4.3 Sensor Channels
All sensor channels of the ES420.1 are identical. The thermocouple cold junction channels have a resolution of 24 bits. You can use thermocouple cold junctions of types B, E, J, K, N, R, S and T. The maximum measurement range,
distributed over all thermocouple cold junction types, is -210 °C to +1820 °C.
To operate different thermocouple cold junctions on the ES420.1, you can
order special splitter cables from ETAS for the relevant thermocouple cold
junction types (see the section 9.2.1 on page 93).
The special splitter cables for the individual thermocouple cold junction types
are made of the same material combination as the thermocouple cold junctions. To ensure a high level of accuracy over the entire temperature range,
thermo lines of the relevant type are used with the splitter cables (e.g. NiCr and
Ni with the splitter cable CBATK).
The material transition from the thermo line to the gold-plated contacts of the
master plug is the cold point. The cold point is measured together for all channels with a PT100 embedded in a solid copper core. The copper core ensures a
very even distribution of the cold point temperature of all channels. The cold
point is protected against fast or erratic temperature changes of the environment with a thermally highly isolating design. The design of the master plug
guarantees that the measure result is only influenced by a few tenths of a Kel-
ES420.1 - User’s Guide 20
vin even with fast temperature changes or uneven temperature distribution
(e.g. if installed near the exhaust system or air vents).
The thermocouple channels are galvanically isolated from one another, from
the supply voltage and from the device ground. This makes it possible to use
non-isolated thermocouple cold junctions in non-potential-free systems without any negative effect on the accuracy.
ETAS Hardware Description
The combination of thermocouple cold junction, replaceable splitter cable and
ES420.1 enables temperatures to be measured highly precisely and virtually
independently of environmental influences.
4.4 Measurement Accuracy
While measuring temperatures with thermocouples the total measurement
inaccuracy is determined by different parts. These parts are:
• Basic accuracy T
• Temperature drift of thermocouple inputs T
g
d
• Inaccuracy depending on the internal resistance of the thermocouple T
• Inaccuracy of cold junction compensation T
• Temperature drift of cold junction compensation T

4.5 Data Transfer
For data transfer, the ES930.1 as well as the ES4xx and ES63x modules use a
100 Mbit/s Ethernet network connection in duplex operation. The data transfer
can be adapted flexibly to suit the test setup and the measurement task.
TIP
The complete Ethernet bandwidth is available for both measure data and
control variables.
Calibration procedures can take place in a Rapid Prototyping application without delay with measure data being acquired at the same time.
4.5.1 Communication Protocols
The universal ASAM measure and calibration protocol XCP is used for serial
communication. On the Ethernet transport and network layer, the UDP/IP protocol is used (see Fig. 4-3 on page 23).
Within the XCP protocol, the modules transfer, among other things, module ID,
time stamp and measure and/or stimulation data in an extremely precise and
predictable time pattern. The communication protocol used for the modules
avoids repeated transfer of protocol data, which takes place, for example, in
handshake-based systems. This makes a high bandwidth available for reference data.
Fig. 4-3 Message Format “XCP on UDP” (Schematic)
Using the UDP/IP standard for data transfer makes it possible to connect the
modules directly to a PC, a router or a switch. In XCP communication, the PC
has the master function.
ES420.1 - User’s Guide 23
ETAS
No real-time requirements are made. Data acquisition on a PC, which generally
does not have to fulfil high real-time requirements, can thus be connected
directly to an ES400 chain. With a real-time-capable master, such as, for example, a Rapid Prototyping system, lots of different kinds of I/O signal can be
accessed with extremely short cycle times.
TIP
The communication protocol used by the ES400 family makes it possible for
third-party suppliers to use the communication protocol for their own, nonETAS applications once the modules have been configured with the „ES4xx
Configuration Tool from ES4xx_DRV_SW“ .
4.5.2 Realization
4.5.2.1 Time Slice Procedure
The modules in the daisy chain transfer the data to the master using a
100 MBit/s Ethernet connection time-controlled, i.e. without being prompted.
The PC assumes the function of the master. In the network, the modules
respond like a single Ethernet device with one MAC address.
All daisy chained modules have a generator which is only activated in the last
module of each chain after the test setup has been connected to the PC. The
frequency of the generator or the period duration of the time slices generated
can be set in the application program. It corresponds to the measuring frequency of the measurement channel with the highest acquisition rate in the
chain.
A binary counter linked to the generator periodically counts the time slices generated (value range: 2
vant number of time slices in the IP header. The Ethernet frames are
transferred from module to module within the chain.
Each module in the chain receives bandwidth to transfer its measure data in
freely selectable time slices assigned within the period of the binary counter.
The module uses the number of the time slice to determine whether it can
insert an XCP message with its measure data into the current time slice.
The fastest module, which determines the period duration of the time slices
generated, transfers data in every time slice. An Ethernet frame then contains
at least one XCP-on-Ethernet data package. The length of the Ethernet frame
transferred inside a time slice increases with the number of modules which can
insert their data into this time slice.
The numbering of the time slices ensures, for example, that two modules which
work with half the sampling rate of the generator never attach their data to the
same Ethernet frame. One module uses only the odd frame numbers and the
other only the even ones. This mechanism also ensures for certain that the
assigned frames do not exceed the length of a time slice.

The measure data is automatically distributed to the frames so that the available bandwidth is used perfectly.

ETAS
The time slice procedure makes both measurements of fast signals and the
acquisition of a large number of channels with a low sampling rate possible.
If a few fast signals and lots of slow ones are acquired in a chain, the slow
signals can be transferred in time multiplex procedure.
TIP
Due to data transfer by Ethernet, there are virtually no limitations in terms of
the number of modules in a module chain even with fast sampling rates.
4.5.2.2 Clock Generator for Synchronizing Modules
The clock generator for the synchronization of the modules is either the first
module in an module chain or the network module ES600. In both cases, the
measure data is synchronized with a tolerance of one microsecond. Using an
ES600 network module, several ES4xx/ES63x/ES93x chains can be synchronized with each other or with the modules of the ES600 series. The ES4xx/
ES63x/ES93x and ES600 modules add the relevant time stamp to the Ethernet
data package for every measure value. The exact assignment in terms of time
of the measure data of the ES4xx/ES63x/ES93x and ES600 modules used
resulting from this makes precise analysis of the correlations of measure signals possible.
4.5.2.3 Synchronizing the Modules and INCA Signal Processing
Data transfer does not require synchronization of the local timebases of the
ES4xx/ES63x/ES93x modules. The time stamps are still synchronized by the
system to be able to correlate measure data and sampling times of different
modules in terms of time after data transfer. A precise time and drift synchronization takes place in the modules via a hardware connection.
No bandwidth is required for this, unlike time synchronization in acc. with
IEEE1588 (Precision Time Protocol). The modules add the time stamp to the
Ethernet data package for every measure date.
The combination of time stamp synchronization, full duplex and time slice procedure results in a very high reference data rate of the modules.

4.6 Power Supply
4.6.1 Supply Voltage
DC/DC converters in every module guarantee both the operation as well as the
launch of the ES400 modules with supply voltages between 5 V and 50 V DC
over the entire temperature range.
With the power supply management of the ES420.1, you can use an automatic
power-saving feature (“Standby”) as well as a “Wake Up” function via the Ethernet interface.
4.6.2 Supplying the ES400 Modules via the Connecting Line
In the simplest application case, the modules are directly linked to one another.
They are connected to the supply voltage via the previous module all the way.
4.6.3 Additional Supply of the ES400 Modules via a Y-Boost Cable
If the supply voltage at the input of a module is too low because of the current
consumption of the previous modules, multiple feeding of the supply voltage
can guarantee this and the following modules sufficient supply voltage in longer module chains.
In this application case, you have to split the module chain. Swap the existing
connection cable between the two modules for a Y boost cable for additional,
direct feeding of the supply voltage. The module chain is now closed again and
the power supply of the following modules guaranteed.
The special design of the Y boost cable avoids reverse feeding into the front
parts of the module chain and thus arising potential differences.
When is it necessary to use a Y boost cable?
An exact calculation of the current consumption of a module chain is only possible if numerous variables are known:
• supply voltage of the first module at the input
• minimum supply voltage at the last module of the chain
• number and type of the modules
• consumption of sensor power supply of the connected sensors
• cable length
• cable type
• ambient temperature
The necessary minimum voltage for supplying power to the system must be
determined individually for each test set-up.
