Introduction 5
1Introduction
This section contains information about the basic features and applications of
the ES1231.1-A ETK Interface Board (ETK = Emulator Test Probe). A block dia-
gram is also included here to show the schematic layout of the interface board.
1.1 Applications
The ES1231.1-A ETK Interface Board is designed for VME64x systems with 3 U
height. It enables a very high-performance integration of the ETK into the
ES1000 system for memory emulation and particularly data acquisition.
Thanks to a new block transmission mode, the ES1231.1-A is much faster than
its predecessor models ES1200.1/ES1201.1.
Features
The ES1231.1-A has the following features and components:
• Motorola MPC555 40-MHz processor
– 1 MByte SDRAM (32-bit, burstable)
– 1 MByte Flash (16-bit)
• transfer rate of 8 MBit/s
• ’single mode’ and ’block mode’ data transfer from and to the ETK
• Data Acquisition Memory Controller (DAMC) for linking the ETK to the
ES1000 system in real time
• automatic detection of the ETK type
• configuration of the ETK
• 16 independent acquisition time frames possible
• VME64x interface
• up to 4 serial ETK interfaces (e.g. four ES1231.1-A boards) can be operated
simultaneously on an ES1000.
note
Some components of the interface board may be damaged or destroyed by elec-
trostatic discharges. Please keep the board in its storage package until it is
installed.
The board should only be taken from its package, configured, and installed at a
work place that is protected against static discharge.

Introduction6
• 16-MByte data acquisition memory on-board
• Update of firmware possible by means of connected PC
These features guarantee that the real-time requirements are fulfilled when
the ES1000 is used.
The following figure shows the front panel of the ES1231.1-A.

note
ETAS is currently planning extending the data acquisition memory. Please get in
touch with your contact in Sales for more details on planned availability.

units.

VME Slave Interface
The board has a VME slave interface which supports A24/D16 master board
accesses. The A40/MD32 mode will also be supported in the future. The slave
interface converts accesses to the VME bus into accesses to corresponding
memory areas on the board.
Power Supply
The power supply makes voltages of 5 V, 3.3 V and 2.5 V available. ICs with a
low supply voltage are generally used to keep the power consumption down.
PowerPC
The PowerPC and the connected memory modules can be addressed via the
VME bus.
Data Acquisition Memory Controller (DAMC)
The Data Acquisition Memory Controller (DAMC) has a fast RISC processor
designed for applications in real-time data acquisition and real-time addressing
of external modules.

Introduction8
Measurement data is given a time stamp. The RISC processor is controlled by
interrupts and can also be addressed from the VME bus.
Data is exchanged via the memory connected to the DAMC. The connected
memory (SDRAM) is also managed by the DAMC. The VME bus and the Pow-
erPC can access this memory simultaneously.
Serial ETK Interface
The serial ETK interface is dc decoupled from the board. Three different modes
guarantee high performance to ensure that the ever increasing data volume
can be dealt with in the future:
• the 8-MBit ’single mode’ guarantees compatibility to all previous ETKs,
• the much faster 8-MBit ’block mode’ offers increased performance which
is particularly useful with bypass applications in ASCET-SD and when high
demands are made of the amount of data during data acquisition in INCA.

Setup Hints 9
2 Setup Hints
Please read the following section carefully as an addition to the "ES1231.1-A
ETK Interface Board" User’s Guide.
2.1 Recommended Layout when using Several ETK Interfaces
If you are using several different ETK interfaces in your ES1000.2 system,
please observe the order of installation shown in the figure below to ensure
the hardware configuration remains clear.
Slot 1 is for the system controller; otherwise you can install the boards in any
slot providing you observe the following order:
ES1201.1 slot no. < ES1200.1 slot no. < ES1231.1-A slot no.
The following is also true for the ES1200.1 and ES1201.1:
ID1 slot number < ID2 slot number
note
Please note that there must not be more than four ETK ports in the system. Fur-
ther, there can only be one ES1200.1 in the system.

Setup Hints10
2.2 Parameterizing the Hardware Configuration (HWC)
It is recommend to have the HWC generated automatically. Use the menu
Hardware →Search for Hardware for this.
If you want to organize or change your HWC manually, you must note how the
ETK Controller (ETKC) counts as well as observing the order of installation in
the ES1000.2 system recommended above:
• Starting from the left, the ETK ports are referred to as ETKC-A through
ETKC-D. The system controller can operate a maximum of 4 ETK control-
lers.
• The ETK ports are always numbered consecutively by the system controller.
• This numbering has to be reflected exactly in the HWC.
The ETK index parameter can be selected accordingly in the HWC with the
ETKC device. The following table shows a sample configuration as specified in
the HWC shown below.
The description of the ETK ports in the HWC has to correspond exactly to
where the hardware is installed.

3 Technical Data
The following sections contain information on:
• VMEbus interface
• connection to the ETK
• electrical and mechanical data
• operating conditions
• firmware update
3.1 VMEbus Interface
The ES1231.1-A communicates with the ES1130 Simulation Controller or the
ES1120 System Controller via the VME bus. A VME64x interface has been
implemented to ensure high system performance.
The processor board has direct access to the Data Acquisition Memory Control-
ler (DAMC) via the VMEbus. The DAMC is responsible for the communication
between ETK and ES1231.1-A. Interrupts control the data transfer between
the master CPU and ES1231.1-A.
It is possible to manipulate or preprocess the large amounts of data with the
local CPU (MPC555). The local CPU can also be accessed via the VME bus.
In addition to the A24/D16 modes, which make it possible to work with exist-
ing boards, an A40/MD32 access (multiplexed address and data accesses,
VME64 extension) is used. The maximum bus transfer rate with A40/MD32
access in block mode is approx. 40 MByte/s. A high data transfer rate can be
attained using the VME bus together with the ES1120 System Controller.

Access types A24:D16; A40:MD32
