1.2.4 Intended Use
The ES4455.2 Load Carrier Board, the ES4450.3, ES4451.4, ES4452.1,
ES4453.1, ES4457.1 and ES4458.1 are plug-in cards for the ES4408.1 Load
Chassis. With the help of ES5372.1 Carrier for ES4455 Load Boards, the plug-in
cards can also be used in the ES5300.1-A Housing or in the ES5300.1-B Housing.
The ES4455.2 Load Carrier Board consists of the following:
• Slot for a load emulation for simulating injection valves with connections
to ECU output stages
• Digital and analog output interfaces for the ES4408.1 or ES5300.1-A-
based hardware-in-the-loop system or for connecting oscilloscopes or
other measurement devices
• SPI Interface to the ES4408.1 Load Chassis or the ES5300.1-A Housing or
the ES5300.1-B Housing
The ES4450.3, ES4451.4, ES4452.1, ES4453.1, ES4457.1 and ES4458.1 plug-in
cards consist of the following:
• Load emulation for simulating injection valves with connections to ECU
output stages
• Digital and analog output interfaces for the ES4408.1 or ES5300.1-A
based hardware-in-the-loop system or for connecting oscilloscopes or
other measurement devices
• SPI Interface to the ES4408.1 Load Chassis or the ES5300.1-A Housing
and to the ES5300.1-B Housing
The ES4455.2 and its variants ES4450.3, ES4451.4, ES4452.1, ES4453.1,
ES4457.1 and ES4458.1 mounted with load modules may be operated only in
the ES4408.1 Load Chassis, ES5300.1-A Housing and in the ES5300.1-B Hous-
ing.
The intended use of the ES4455.2 and its variants ES4450.3, ES4451.4,
ES4452.1, ES4453.1, ES4457.1 and ES4458.1 mounted with load modules is as
follows:
• Use in industrial lab facilities or workplaces
• Hardware interface for ECUs in a hardware-in-the-loop test system
• Cooperation with ETAS software which supports the ES4408.1 Load
Chassis or ES5300.1-A Housing or the ES5300.1-B Housing
• Interface in cooperation with software programs that operate the stan-
dardized, documented and open APIs of ETAS software products
The ES4455.2 and its variants ES4450.3, ES4451.4, ES4452.1, ES4453.1,
ES4457.1 and ES4458.1 mounted with load modules are not intended to be
