ES4456.2 Load Board for 8 RB CRI3-x Piezo Injectors - User’s Guide 9
ETAS Introduction
1.2.4 Intended Use
The ES4456.2 Load Board for 8 RB CRI3-x Piezo Injectors is for load emulation of
eight piezo injectors.
The ES4456.2 is a plug-in board for the ES4408.1 Load Chassis. When built into
the ES5372.1-B, it can also be used in the ES5300.1-A Housing and the
ES5300.1-B Housing.
The ES4456.2 consists of the following:
• Load emulation for 8 RB CRI13-x piezo injectors 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, the ES5300.1-A Housing or
ES5300.1-B Housing
The ES4456.2 may be installed and operated only in the ES4408.1 Load Chassis,
the ES5300.1-A Housing or in the ES5300.1-B Housing.
The intended use of the ES4456.2 in an ES4408.1 Load Chassis, an ES5300.1-A
Housing or ES5300.1-B Housing is:
• Use as a component in industrial lab facilities or at industrial workplaces
• Use as hardware interface for ECUs in a hardware-in-the-loop test system
• Use in conjunction with ETAS software that supports the ES4408.1 Load
Chassis, th ES5300.1-A Housing and the ES5300.1-B Housing
• Use as interface in cooperation with software programs that operate the
standardized, documented and open APIs of ETAS software products
The ES4456.2 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 "Environmental Conditions" on page 29).
• Use with signal conditioning that falls outside the specified ranges (see
voltages, currents and power consumption in the chapter "Technical
Data" on page 29)
