Application Areas and Properties
Application Areas
The ES5392.1 High Current Switch Board (6-CH) is an add-on card for the
ES5300.1-A Housing or for the ES5300.1-B Housing. It is used in Hardware-in-
the-Loop (HiL) systems.
The ES5392.1 allows controlling an external power supply which maps the vehi-
cle battery within an HiL system. As such, it is possible to simulate, e.g. voltage
fluctuations of the battery and feedback from the battery (such as error, over-
load). ECUs or loads can be connected to the voltage of the external power sup-
ply via the high current outputs of the ES5392.1.
A total of 6 high current channels for connecting ECUs or loads are available. The
ES5392.1 features a current measurement for each channel.
Each of the six channels of the ES5392.1 can be configured as battery node sim-
ulation or as independent high current switch.
In the vehicle, loads, sensor supplies or battery nodes are switched in depending
on a main relay. This function is called MRC (Main Relay Control). The ES5392.1
can measure the MRC signal and map the main relay through a controlled cur-
rent source. With the help of RTIO, channels can then be selected that are
switched in depending on the main relay.
In addition, the ES5392.1 features TTL outputs at the connector X2 SwCtrl and
X4 Power I/O. The TTL signals can be configured in the RTIO, e.g. as status signals
BN0...BN5 for the ES4408CON.1 or other external components. These signals
can be fed in from the connector X2 SwCtrl via the connector SwCtrl of the
ES4408CON.1. The status signals BN0...BN5 are then fed to the backplane of the
ES4408.1 Load Chassis, and from there to the slots of the low-current loads (e.g.
ES4435 Current Source Load Board).
The connecting cable CBV305.1-2 for connecting the connectors X2 SwCtrl
(ES5392.1) and SwCtrl (ES4408CON.1) can be ordered from ETAS (see "Ordering
Data" on page 50).
