Introduction 5
1 Introduction
The ES590 ETK, CAN and K-Line Module is a powerful calibration device which
can be used universally for ECU calibration. The 10/100 MBit Ethernet inter-
face to the host PC makes high data transfer rates possible between the ECU
on the one hand and the calibration software on the other.
Fig. 1-1 ES590 Module
One K-Line and two CAN interfaces are available in addition to the ETK inter-
face for the connection to the ECU. The CAN interface can be used for mea-
suring devices such as IPETRONIK modules. Additional measuring devices, such

as ThermoScan, AD-Scan or Lambda Meter, can be connected using the serial
measuring bus. This means the ES590 can be used for a wide range of measur-
ing and calibration tasks.
Fig. 1-2 ES590 Module Rear View
All ETK interfaces are supported up to the fast 100 MBit transfer in block mode
in which you can work with up to 16 acquisition rates. Depending on the num-
ber of rates used, a large number of variables can be integrated in the
extended address space, which means very complex tasks can be processed.
A fast data acquisition controller and the 16 MB data memory, which is man-
aged dynamically, ensure the real-time capable support of these tasks.
Calibration can take place on the K-Line using KWP2000 and MCMess; the
CAN interface supports the protocols CCP and Keyword-on-CAN in addition to
CAN Monitoring.

Introduction 7
The ES590 ETK, CAN and K-Line Module, together with the INCA software
(INCA 4 line: version V4.0.5 and higher, INCA 5 line: V5.1 and higher) is a
powerful, versatile solution for ECU calibration. It can be combined with mod-
ules of the ES6xx range and with SMB modules and devices of the ES1000
range.
The ES590 is also already prepared for integration into the fast Ethernet topol-
ogy which is available with the ES600.
All cable connections of the ES590 are suitable for use in vehicles. The power
supply in the range of 6…32 V and the temperature range of -40…+70° C at
which it works are perfectly suited for use in the vehicle.
1.1 System Requirements
This section tells you which hardware and software are needed to operate your
ES590.
1.1.1 Hardware
The ES590 requires a power supply of 6 to 32 V DC. For complete technical
data of the ES590, refer to Section "Technical Data" on page 15.

2.2 Description of the Device
The cable connections for the ECU interface of the ES590 are on the front of
the device. In addition to the ETK interface, there are also two CAN interfaces
and an interface for the K-Line. The LEDs indicating power supply, data trans-
fer and error operation are also on the front of the device.

Operation10
The interfaces for the power supply, the serial measuring bus and the host PC
are on the back of the device. Between these interfaces there is the switch for
the power supply (ON/AUTO switch).
Fig. 2-2 The Back of the ES590
2.2.1 LEDs
The green LED (ON) lights up when the device is switched on. It flashes when
the device’s automatic activation/deactivation is activated and the device is in
wait mode (switch in AUTO position and PC not available).
The yellow LED (TX)indicates that data is being transferred to the PC.
In case of an error, the red LED (ER) lights up permanently. This can happen,
for example, when a firmware update of the device failed. Switch off the
device, switch it on again, and repeat the firmare update. If the error display
ER still lights up, send the device back to ETAS Customer Service to be checked
immediately.
2.2.2 Interfaces
This chapter tells you about which procedures and protocols the individual
interfaces of the ES590 module support and where adaptations are necessary
(if applicable) to use these interfaces.
ETK
The ETK interface of the ES590 supports ECU calibration via the emulator test
probe (ETK). The type of ETK connected is detected automatically.
The ES590 not only supports the standard mode with single transfer for cali-
bration with the ETK, which was already implemented in its predecessor the
MAC2, but also data transfer in block mode which represents a performance
boost in comparison to single mode.
The ES590 module usually works in block mode; single mode is still supported
for compatibility reasons. This change to block mode means a considerable
increase in performance in the entire calibration system for which no adapta-
tions to the software are necessary.

Operation 11
You only have to adapt your ECU software and the ASAM-2MC description file
if you want to work with a larger number of variables in the current rate or
with more rates. If you want to work at rates of 100 MBit/sec., further changes
have to be made to the ASAM-2MC description file.
Details on the individual changes that have to be made can be found in the
description of the ETK interface which you can receive from ETAS on request.
The following table shows the performance characteristics of the individual
operating modes for the ETK interface.
CAN
In addition to CAN Monitoring, the CAN interfaces of the ES590 support cali-
bration via the CAN Calibration Protocol (CCP) and conversion from KWP2000
to CAN via Keyword-on-CAN.
K-Line
Calibration using the KWP2000 Keyword protocol and McMess are supported
on the K-Line of the ES590.
SMB
The serial interface of the ES590 can be used to connect one or several mea-
suring devices via a serial measuring bus.
Host
The connection to the host PC is established at the host interface. The connec-
tion can take place directly via the Ethernet board or with an ES600 when
using several Ethernet devices.
2.3 Assembly
The ES590 module has a robust metal housing with non-skid plastic feet. The
device can easily be screwed to a rack to position it in the vehicle or in the lab.
Operating Mode Transfer MBit/sec. Rates Variables
Standard mode Individ. 8 3 29/45/45

Compatibility mode Block 8, 100 3 100/100/100
Block 8, 100 8 Configurable
Extended mode Block 100 16 Configurable

Operation12
The threads you use for fixing the ES590 are already available within the device
and can easily be made accessible by removing the feet.
To fix the ES590 housing:
• Remove the plastic feet from the top and bottom
of the device. To do this, first of all lift the foot
from either the top or the bottom of the device
and then carefully remove it from the housing.
You will then see a thread where the plastic foot
was. The threads for positioning the device are
on both the top and bottom of the housing.
• You can now screw the device to your rack. Use
M3 screws for this purpose as their threads only
protrude by a max. 3 mm into the housing of the
ES590.
note
Please make sure that the screws used do not protrude into the ES590 housing
more than 3 mm. Otherwise they could damage the electronics inside the device.

Operation 13
2.4 Cabling and Operation
The order in which you attach the cables to the interfaces of the ES590 is
irrelevant. The interface cable for the host PC and the power supply cable for
the ES590 are part of the standard delivery scope. You can order other cables
in various lengths from ETAS.
The maximum cable length for the individual interfaces are specified in the
following table:
To start up the ES590:
• Connect the ECUs used with the relevant inter-
faces on the front of the device.
SMB measuring devices can be connected with
the SERIAL interface on the back of the device.
Measuring devices at the serial measuring bus
have to have a separate power supply as they are
not supplied by the ES590.
• Use the CBE 100-3 cable supplied for connecting
the host PC and the ES590. Plug it into the Host
interface on the back of the device and the rele-
vant output of your Ethernet board at the PC.
• Use the CBP 100-2 cable supplied for the power
supply. Plug it into the 6-32 V interface on the
back of your device and the continuous plus in
the vehicle.
note
Carefully check the software version numbers and cable names. Wrong software
versions and cables could impair the proper functioning of your ES590 or dam-
age the ES590 and the connected devices.
Interface Maximum Cable Length
ETK 20 m
CAN 4 m at 1 MBit/s. The transfer rate decreases the longer the cable is.
K-Line 8 m at 250 kBaud. The max. admissible cable length is project-specific.
6–32 V 2 m trouble-free operation guaranteed at UBatt 6 V.
SERIAL 8m
HOST 20 m

Operation14
• Use the switch on the back to toggle between
continuous operation (ON) and automatic activa-
tion/deactivation of the ES590 (AUTO).
Automatic activation/deactivation of the device
depends on the host PC. If a PC is connected and
switched on, the ES590 is automatically switched
on. Otherwise, the device remains in wait mode.
The LED ON on the front of the device lights up
when the device is switched on; it flashes when
the device is in wait mode.
