3.1 Overview
The ES584.1 CAN FD and LIN Bus Interface USB Module is part of the range of
compact ETAS bus interface modules.
It is equipped with a CAN/CAN FD interface and with a LIN interface for connec-
tion to vehicle buses or ECUs, as well as a USB port for connection to a PC or a
drive recorder.
Fig. 3-1 ES584.1
The ES584.1 module supports CAN FD (CAN flexible date rate) and is suitable for
numerous applications, both in the classic CAN environment and in the CAN FD
environment.

ES584.1 – User’s Guide 14
ETAS Hardware Description
Together with the application software INCA and ODX-LINK from ETAS permits
the ES584.1 access to the CAN and LIN bus for measurement, calibration and
diagnostics.
The ES584.1 can be connected to a vehicle's CAN bus via the diagnostics service
interface.
When validating the vehicle diagnostics, the module can be used together with
ODX-LINK, the INCA add-on for ECU diagnostics, as an interface for OBD-on-
CAN, as well as to read and delete diagnostics error codes (DTCs). A separate
diagnostic service tool is not required in these cases.
The ES584.1 module offers an open SAE J2534-compliant pass-through inter-
face for vehicle diagnostics and flash programming.
The module supports all protocols used by INCA, such as CCP, XCP, KWP-on-
CAN and UDS. The CCP and KWP-on-CAN (ISO 14230/ISO 15765) protocols are
only supported in classic CAN mode.
The costs for installation and configuration of the affordable module are mini-
mal, and an external voltage supply is not required.
3.2 Application Areas
The ES584.1 can be used for the following tasks:
• Recording and capturing communication data
• Calibration of ECUs via the CAN FD bus interface
• ECU diagnostics via the CAN bus interface and J2534 pass-through inter-
face
• Vehicle diagnostics and reprogramming via a J2534 pass-through inter-
face using application software from third-party providers
• Flash programming of ECUs
• Connection of ETAS ES3xx modules, as well as modules from third-party
manufacturers, to the INCA PC via their CAN interface (e.g. Ipetronik or
csm modules)
• Integration of the module into the BUSMASTER open source software or
via EBI-IP into application software from third-party manufacturers

3.5 CAN FD Interface
CAN FD (CAN flexible data rate) is an improved, backward compatible CAN pro-
tocol. It differs from CAN mainly in the expansion of the useful data per message
from 8 to 64 bytes, higher transmission rates of up to 8 Mbit/s and longer check-
sums, which increase the reliability of transmission. CAN FD covers the demand
for a higher bandwidth for networks in the automotive industry. At the same
time, CAN FD nodes can easily be integrated into the existing CAN infrastructure.
The ES584.1 CAN FD and LIN Bus Interface USB Module has a CAN interface
CAN on its nine-pin DSUB socket. The CAN interface is an independent CAN
channel with its own CAN controller. It is isolated from the USB port of the
ES584.1.
3.5.1 Operating Modes
The CAN interface can be operated in high-speed CAN operating mode or in
CAN FD operating mode (CAN flexible data rate). The ES584.1 module supports
both ISO-compliant and non-ISO-compliant CAN FD.
The CAN interface can be configured in the application software for the follow-
ing operating modes:
• CAN
• ISO-compliant CAN FD
• Non-ISO-compliant CAN FD.
3.5.2 Time Stamp
The ES584.1 time stamps the CAN messages. The INCA application software syn-
chronizes the measurement data recorded by the ES584.1 module with signals
from other ECUs and measuring modules with high precision.
3.5.3 Feature
The CAN applications supported by the ES584.1 are located in an overview in

3.5.4 Bus Terminating Resistor
The CAN interface requires the use of bus terminating resistors in both operating
modes.

ES584.1 – User’s Guide 17
ETAS Hardware Description
According to the CAN specification, one bus terminating resistor of 120 ohm is
required at each of the two open ends of the bus. It must be connected to the
cable or the plug.
ETAS offers cables and terminating resistors of 120 ohm to set up CAN net-
works.
Some CAN networks are already terminated (for example in a vehicle), so no
additional termination is required.
3.5.5 Minimum Requirements for the CAN Connection
At least the following connections are required in order to establish a connection
to the CAN network:
• Pin 2 CAN Low
• Pin 7 CAN High
• Pin 6 or Pin 3 GND (either one of the pins can be connected)
The ground connection (GND) must be identical to the ground connection of the
other CAN nodes on the bus.

3.6 LIN Interface
The LIN interface is electrically isolated from the other interfaces of the module
and also protected against overload or misuse.
3.6.1 Operating Modes
The two clients of the LIN interface (see chapter "Multi-Client Support"
on page 21) can either be operated in the LIN master operating mode or in the
LIN slave operating mode. The following configurations are possible:
• Client 1: LIN master or LIN slave and
• Client 2: LIN slave
The operating mode is selected in the application software.
3.6.2 Feature
The LIN applications supported by the module are listed in an overview in chapter
6.7.2 on page 39.

cable)
12 V LIN systems
In 12 V LIN systems, the LIN node of the ES584.1 module can either be supplied
externally by the LIN bus or internally by the module with the LIN reference volt-
age VBAT.
24 V LIN systems
In 24 V LIN systems, the LIN node of the ES584.1 module can only be supplied
externally by the LIN bus with the LIN reference voltage VBAT.
Supplying external LIN nodes
The module is not designed for the supply of external nodes on the LIN bus.
Selecting the voltage supply
An internal pull-up resistance can be switched to the LIN interface of the module
as master resistance. Switching of the master resistance of the LIN interface can
be configured in the application software.

ETAS Hardware Description
Recommendation
To maintain the reference level (and thereby identical switching thresholds) at
the individual nodes on the LIN bus, the LIN transceivers (physical layer) of all
nodes on the bus should be operated with the same voltage.
We therefore recommend powering all nodes on the LIN bus with the external
voltage that also powers the other bus participants (LIN VBAT, see Fig. 3-3
on page 18).
At the same time, this ensure compliance with safe switching thresholds in each
operating state of the LIN system (e.g. during vehicle cold starts).
If there is no access or no possibility of using the LIN VBAT voltage as reference
and supply voltage, the LIN transceivers of the dedicated LIN node of the ES584.1
can be supplied by a switchable internal voltage source of the module.
This internal supply voltage is not routed outside via the CAN/LIN plug connec-
tor.
3.7 USB Port
The module is permanently connected using a cable with type A USB connector
for connection to the USB port of a PC or a drive recorder.
The module must be operated directly at the USB port of a PC, a drive recorder
or an active hub, whose USB interface meets the requirements stated in the
table in chapter 6.7.1 on page 37.

The use of USB cables to extend the connection between ES584.1 and the PC
or drive recorder is not permitted.
3.8 Power Supply
The ES584.1 module is powered via the USB 2.0 port of a PC or a drive recorder.
The module does not require an external power supply. Information on the
requirements for the PC's USB port can be found in chapter 6.7.1 on page 37.
3.9 Y-Cable
A Y-cable (CBCF100, see chapter 7.1 on page 43) allows the CAN and LIN inter-
face of the ES584.1 module to access vehicle buses or ECUs.
