the information in the chapter "Technical Data").
• Do not apply any voltages to the connections of the module that do not
correspond to the specifications of the respective connection.
Power supply
• The power supply for the product must be safely disconnected from the
supply voltage. For example, use a car battery or a suitable lab power sup-
ply.
• Use exclusively lab power supplies with double protection to the supply
system (with double insulation / with reinforced insulation (DI/ RI)).
• The lab power supply must be approved for an operating altitude of
5,000 m and for an ambient temperature of up to 120 °C.
• For normal operation of the modules as well as for very long standby oper-
ation, it is possible that the vehicle battery will be drained.
Connection to the power supply
• The power cable may not be connected directly to the vehicle battery or
the lab power supply, but only via a suitable fuse.
• Ensure that the connections of the lab power supply, the power supply at
the module and the vehicle battery are easily accessible!
• Route the power cable in such a way that it is protected against abrasion,
damages, deformation and kinking. Do not place any objects on the
power cable!
DANGER!
Dangerous electrical voltage!
Connect the power cable only with a suitable vehicle battery or with
a suitable lab power supply! The connection to power outlets is not
allowed!
To prevent an inadvertent insertion in power outlets, ETAS recom-
mends to equip the power cables with safety banana plugs in areas
with power outlets.

This chapter contains information on the following topics:
• "Wiring Concepts in Test Vehicles" on page 14
• "Features of the ES400 Line" on page 15
• "Housing" on page 16
• "Ports" on page 17
• "LED" on page 18
3.1 Wiring Concepts in Test Vehicles
For the test phase, several hundred sensors must be installed in a test vehicle in
various areas, e.g. in the engine compartment and in the floor area. The sensors,
which are positioned all over the vehicle, then have to be connected to the mea-
suring instruments of the test setup.
Today’s standard solutions with their central setup of measuring instruments
inside the vehicle require complex cabling to connect the widely distributed sen-
sors with the measuring instruments. Numerous, usually long connection cables
between the sensors and the measuring instruments, bundled together to form
several fat wiring harnesses, require a highly modified splash wall of the test
vehicle. This involves long setting-up times as well as high costs.
Fig. 3-1 Central and Decentral Sensor Cabling
With the ES400 modules, ETAS provides a decentral solution which considerably
simplifies the test setup of the sensors.
The basic idea of this concept is to install the modules of the ES400 family as
close as possible to the sensors, to concatenate the modules with each other and
to connect just the first module of this chain with the laptop in the vehicle.

3.2 Features of the ES400 Line
3.2.1 Advantages of the Decentral Wiring Concept
• The compact ES400 modules can be mounted close to the sensors with
short connection cables.
• The simple assembly and wiring principle (daisy chain topology) of the
modules
– requires only one common cable between the modules for power sup-
ply and data transfer
– considerably reduces the setting-up times for tests
– simplifies the maintenance and the extension of the test setup
• The only item in the vehicle is the laptop which is connected to the mod-
ules with just one cable.
• Test vehicles equipped with an ES400 measurement system can be used
flexibly because the vehicles do not have to be modified for changed or
new test tasks.
3.2.2 Further Features
This list provides an overview of the other features of the ES400 line in addition
to decentral cabling:
• The ES400 modules have a very compact design.
• Each module has an LED for localizing the module.
• The High Definition A/D Module with Sensor Supplys of the ES400 family
use a XCP-based protocol which is compatible to the existing ETAS Ether-
net topology.
The concept fulfills the following requirements:
– high bandwidth to be able to realize lots of channels with high resolu-
tions (typical in measuring and calibration applications) with fast sam-
pling rates
– simple application based on the Ethernet integration in INCA, no com-
plicated setting of bus parameters,
– simple to integrate in measurement and calibration tools manufac-
tured by third-party suppliers due to the use of XCP as application pro-
tocol
– support of all probes and pressure sensors used in the automotive
industry
• Innovative, battery-saving power supply management
– automatic power-saving feature (“Standby”)
– “Wake Up” via the Ethernet interface
• Part of the ETAS Tool Suite
• Daisy Chain Configuration Tool (stand-alone operation)

• Modules suitable for use in automotive applications; suitable for use in the
development environment and in the vehicle on test drives:
– Housing, connectors and cables waterproof and dustproof in acc. with
IP65 or IP67; designed for use in the engine compartment or the out-
side area of the vehicle
– rugged to acceleration or mechanical damage
– rugged to extreme environmental conditions (temperature, dampness,
EMC)
– very low temperature coefficients contribute to the reduction in the
number of measurement errors
For the complete technical data of the ES415.1, refer to the chapter "Technical
Data" on page 70.
3.3 Housing
A sturdy metal housing is used for the ES415.1; it has ports on the front of the
device so it can fit into tight spaces. The ES415.1 is specifically designed to be
installed in engine compartment, but also in the passenger cell.
The housings of the ES400 family can quickly and easily be connected to one
another to create a measurement system (see section 5.2 on page 36). The mod-
ules can easily be screwed directly to a carrier system or attached to it using cable
fasteners both in the vehicle and in the lab.
These simple and uncomplicated ways of attaching the modules make them flex-
ible in terms of assembly. These methods of attachment can also be used in harsh
environmental conditions (salt fog, dirt).
CAUTION!
Loss of Features as defined by IP67!
Do not open or change the module housing!
Works on the module housing may be executed only by qualified
technical personnel.

3.4 Ports
All ports of the ES400 measuring modules are on the front of the device (see
Fig. 3-2 on page 17).
The LEMO and Souriau connectors used adhere to protection class IP67. All ports
are reverse-polarity protected due to the exclusive use of coded LEMO or Souriau
connectors.
Fig. 3-2 Front
3.4.1 “Sensor” Port
The front of the ES415.1 features a 22-pin Souriau port to which four sensors
can be connected using a adapter cable. An individual sensor power supply port
is available for each sensor.
The use of a “cable tail” or “whip” solution with just one connector makes it
possible to change the modules quickly within complex test setups.
3.4.2 Daisy Chain Ports (“IN”, “OUT”)
The modules are connected using a daisy chain topology. This means each mod-
ule has an explicit input socket and an explicit output socket. The Ethernet data
line and the supply voltage are routed through the daisy chain ports of the mod-
ule:
• “IN” (input)
• “OUT” (output)
The PC, the modules ES523, ES59x, ES600.2, ES891, ES910.3 or the Drive
Recorder ES720 are connected at the “IN” port (input). The “OUT” port (output)
is connected to the following module of the ES400 line or remains free on the
last module of the chain.
