4.3.2.4 Connecting the cables
A variety of cables in different lengths is available for connecting the device to the data acquisition
system and to the power supply on the one hand and for daisy chaining between the measurement
modules on the other hand.
cables for connecting EtherCAT modules (ECAT K400-xxxx)
cable for connecting the XCP-Gateway with both the PC and the power supply (ECAT K420-xxxx)
Parts/material required
suitable connection cables (depending on the assembly)
Connecting the cable
Push the plug of the connection cable into the socket until it snaps into place.
4.3.2.5 Connecting the power supply
The power supply of an XCP-Gateway and measurement modules connected to it is effected via the
interface cable linking the measurement module also to the computer/data acquisition system.
Measurement modules of the MiniModule series are designed for low power consumption. In combi-
nation with the original CSM, cables and due to the miniaturized geometry of the device, MiniModules
can be simply and straightforward installed in most cases. To ensure error-free functioning the following
aspects should be taken into account when choosing an appropriate power supply.
Minimum power supply voltage
This is the minimal value of the voltage supplied by the power supply. In an automotive application, this
is usually the vehicle's on-board supply system (e.g. "12 V" for passenger cars). Note that the minimum
value is relevant. In a 12 V on-board supply system, this value can drop to a value below the minimum
value that has been specified for the measurement value for a short period of time (i.e. several
milliseconds) during starter operation. When operating measurement modules of the MiniModule series
it has to be made sure that the minimum supply voltage value at the last measurement module of a
supply chain does not drop below 6 V.
