3 Technical Description
3.1 Overview
The ES4602 breakout panel is mechanically and signal-logically divided into
three areas. The connectors to the control unit ("ECU") are mounted on the
right-hand side (see Figure "Front view of the ES4602 Breakout Panel"
on page 9). The connectors to the ES4500 Component Rack (“LOADBOX”) or
signal box are located on the left.
The jumpers are arranged in the center section. The jumpers are designed
based on the current specification of each signal channel. Some signals in the
range of higher currents are protected specially (see Chapter "Safety Mea-
sures" on page 13).

Although the connectors CON-L (3) and CON-S (3) are included in the back-
plane layout, they are not required at this stage and therefore hidden under a
cover.
