1.2 Important Notes
1.2.1 Safety Instructions and Hazard Warnings
Caution!
In order to avoid personal injuries and damage to property, you have to read and
understand the following safety instructions and hazard warnings prior to installation
and use of this interface. Keep this documentation (manual) always near the interface.
1.2.1.1 Proper Use and Intended Purpose
Caution!
The interface is designed for analyzing, controlling and otherwise influencing control
systems and electronic control units. This includes, inter alia, bus systems like
CAN, LIN, K-Line, MOST, FlexRay, Ethernet, BroadR-Reach and/or ARINC 429.
1.2 Important Notes
The interface may only be operated in a closed state. In particular, printed circuits
must not be visible. The interface may only be operated (i) according to the instructions and descriptions of this manual; (ii) with the electric power supply designed for
the interface, e.g. USB-powered power supply; and (iii) with accessories manufactured or approved by Vector.
The interface is exclusively designed for use by skilled personnel as its operation
may result in serious personal injuries and damage to property. Therefore, only
those persons may operate the interface who (i) have understood the possible
effects of the actions which may be caused by the interface; (ii) are specifically
trained in the handling with the interface, bus systems and the system intended to
be influenced; and (iii) have sufficient experience in using the interface safely.
The knowledge necessary for the operation of the interface can be acquired in workshops and internal or external seminars offered by Vector. Additional and interface
specific information, such as „Known Issues“, are available in the „Vector KnowledgeBase“on Vector´s website at www.vector.com. Please consult the „Vector
KnowledgeBase“for updated information prior to the operation of the interface.

1.2.1.2 Hazards
1.2.1.3 Disclaimer
1.2 Important Notes
Caution!
The interface may control and/or otherwise influence the behavior of control systems and electronic control units. Serious hazards for life, body and property may
arise, in particular, without limitation, by interventions in safety relevant systems
(e.g. by deactivating or otherwise manipulating the engine management, steering,
airbag and/or braking system) and/or if the interface is operated in public areas (e.g.
public traffic, airspace). Therefore, you must always ensure that the interface is
used in a safe manner. This includes, inter alia, the ability to put the system in
which the interface is used into a safe state at any time (e.g. by „emergency shutdown“), in particular, without limitation, in the event of errors or hazards.
Comply with all safety standards and public regulations which are relevant for the
operation of the system. Before you operate the system in public areas, it should be
tested on a site which is not accessible to the public and specifically prepared for
performing test drives in order to reduce hazards.
Caution!
Claims based on defects and liability claims against Vector are excluded to the
extent damages or errors are caused by improper use of the interface or use not
according to its intended purpose. The same applies to damages or errors arising
from insufficient training or lack of experience of personnel using the interface.

2.1 Scope of Delivery
Contents The delivery includes:
> VN5610(A) Ethernet/CAN interface
> Vector Power Supply 12 V / 1.25 A (part number 05024)
> USB2.0 cable (part number 05011)
2.2 Introduction
2.1 Scope of Delivery
About the
VN5610(A)
The VN5610(A) is a Vector network interface which supports the Ethernet physical
layer 10BASE-T, 100BASE-T1 (OPEN Alliance BroadR-Reach), 100BASE-TX and
1000BASE-T. 100BASE-T1 is a physical layer especially used in automotive electronics.
Figure 1: VN5610 Ethernet/CAN Interface
Figure 2: VN5610A Ethernet/CAN Interface
The VN5610(A) enables the transparent monitoring and logging of Ethernet data
streams and CAN events with minimal latency times and high resolution time stamps.
With this, the VN5610(A) enables a variety of applications such as simple bus analyses, complex remaining bus simulations as well as diagnostic and calibration (e.g.
with CANalyzer.Ethernet/CANoe.Ethernet).
Highlights Common features of VN5610 and VN5610A:
> Support of two independent Ethernet ports,
available as 2x RJ45 or 1x D-SUB9
> Support of standard Ethernet (10BASE-T/100BASE-TX/1000BASE-T)
> Support of two independent CAN/CAN FD channels,
available as 1x D-SUB9
> High resolution time stamps for Ethernet frames
Manual VN5610/VN5610A Version 2.0 11
> High resolution time stamps for CAN/CAN FD frames
> Software and hardware time synchronization
of multiple Vector network interfaces
> Internal three-way-routing in/monitor/out
> Robustness, power supply and temperature ranges
suitable for automotive and industrial applications
Differences Differences between VN5610 and VN5610A:
VN5610
> Support of BroadR-Reach physical layer
VN5610A
> Support of 100BASE-T1 (OPEN Alliance BroadR-Reach)
> Support of one digital input/output (e.g. for DoIP Activation Line)

2.4.1 Standalone Media Converter
2.4 Examples of Usage
Physical layer
conversion
The Ethernet channels of the VN5610(A) can be configured independently. That way
the VN5610(A) can be used as a media converter between an ECU using the
100BASE-T1 physical layer and any standard Ethernet equipment (e.g. loggers)
using 100BASE-TX/1000BASE-T.
Setup
Figure 3: Media converter
2.4.2 Transparent Ethernet Monitoring
Monitoring The VN5610(A) can be used for Ethernet monitoring between an ECU and a con-
nected sensor without influencing the Ethernet bus (bypassing). In this particular
setup the VN5610(A) receives and forwards incoming data packages from one channel to the other.
Setup
Figure 4: Bypassing Ethernet data
This allows applications such as CANalyzer.Ethernet or CANoe.Ethernet to trace Ethernet data with accurate time stamps.

Bypassing modes For bypassing, two modes are available which can be used depending on the needed
application:
> PHY bypassing
Use this mode if you want to monitor Ethernet packets without influencing the constant processing time. Sending of additional Ethernet packets is not possible in
this mode.

> MAC bypassing
Use this mode if you want to monitor Ethernet packets and also send additional
packets. In this mode, the processing time can be dynamic.
Figure 6: MAC bypassing
Physical Layer Bypassing Latency ∆t*
100BASE-T1100BASE-T1 approx. 4.6 µs
100BASE-T1100BASE-TX approx. 4.2 µs
100BASE-TX100BASE-TX approx. 3.8 µs
1000BASE-T1000BASE-T approx. 0.9 µs
* Processing time without additional frames through the application
(CANalyzer.Ethernet/CANoe.Ethernet)
Note
The MAC bypassing latency is independent of the frame length (Cut-through mode)
if there are no bypassing conflicts (e.g. additional frames sent by an application).
If additional frames are sent by an application, the bypass latency depends on the
frame length (Store-and-Forward Mode).
