Intended Use
The ES5338.1 Carrier Board is a plug-in card for the ES5300.1-A Housing and the
ES5300.1-B Housing. The ES5338.1 Carrier Board can accommodate up to six
PB5338CURR.1-A Piggybacks.
The ES5338.1 Carrier Board consists of the following:
• Six slots that accept current output modules
• Up to six current output modules of similar design
• SPI, I²C interfaces for the ES5300.1-A Housing or ES5300.1-B Housing
• Output interface (current outputs) to the ECU
• Voltage supply of the plug-in modules (current output modules)
The ES5338.1 Carrier Board may be installed and operated only in the
ES5300.1-A Housing or in the ES5300.1-B Housing and must not be operated as
a stand-alone-unit.
The intended use of the ES5338.1 Carrier Board in an ES5300.1-A Housing or in
an ES5300.1-B Housing is as follows:
• Use as a component in industrial lab facilities or at industrial workplaces
• Use as a hardware interface for ECUs in a hardware-in-the-loop test sys-
tem
• Use in conjunction with ETAS software that supports the ES5300.1-A
Housing and the ES5300.1-B Housing
• Use as an interface in conjunction with software programs that operate
the standardized, documented and open APIs of ETAS software products
The ES5338.1 Carrier Board is
not
intended for the following:
• Use within a vehicle on the road
• Use as part of a life support system
• Use as part of a medical application
• In applications where misuse can lead to injuries or damages
• Use in environments in which conditions prevail that fall outside the spec-
ified ranges (see "Ambient Conditions" on page 37)
• Use with signal conditioning that falls outside the specified ranges (see
voltages, currents and power consumption in the chapter "Technical Data
and Standards" on page 37)
