Automotive Ethernet Interface
The Automotive Ethernet interface (100BASE-T) of the BR_XETK
-
S2.0 can not
be connected to a PC directly, but a media converter or an ES88x ECU and Bus
Interface Module has to be inserted in between.
Its purpose is to transform the physical layers of Automotive Ethernet (1 differ
-
ential pair / 2 wires) into Standard Ethernet (2 differential pairs/ 4 wires) and
vice-versa. The media converter has to be connected to CON1 (refer to
Fig.
4).
The combination of the BR_XETK
-
S2.0 and the Automotive Ethernet media
converter is integrated in the ETAS IP world with automatic IP management
and supports the open automotive "Universal Measurement and Calibration"
standard "XCP on Ethernet" (TCP/IP, UDP/IP).
The open "XCP on Ethernet" interface allows for connecting to the BR_X
-
ETK
-
S2.0 with third party application software.
