2 Hardware description
The "Hardware description" chapter provides an overview of the ES583.1 mod-
ule, the LEDs, the block diagram, the power supply, the interfaces and the firm-
ware update.
2.1 Overview
The ES58x series consists of a series of compact ECU and bus interface module
to cost-efficiently connect vehicle buses with the PC.
The compact ES583.1 module is equipped with a FlexRay interface at a DSUB9
plug connector and with a USB port for connection to the PC. The Y-shaped
cable CBCF100 connects the SUB-D plug connector of the module with the
FlexRay channels.
The ES583.1 supports a FlexRay node with two redundantly usable FlexRay chan-
nels and can be used in a variety of applications for analyzing the communication
on the FlexRay bus.
With the efficient data transmission to the HOST PC, the module is suitable for
the calibration as well as flashing of FlexRay ECUs.

The ES583.1 is integrated in the ETAS application software INCA and supports
the protocols XCP and UDS.
The installation and configuration effort is minimal, an external voltage supply is
not required.
The ES583.1 module and the corresponding CBF100 cable are designed for use
in the lab, at the test bench and in the passenger cell of motor vehicles.

2.6 USB port
The ES583.1 must be connected to a USB 2.0 high-speed port (480 Mbit/s). Since
the module is supplied with power via the USB port, it must provide an output
current of 500 mA (USB 2.0 high power).
USB ports that can provide only a current of 100 mA are not being supported
(USB 2.0 low power). In case of insufficient current supply, the ES583.1 does not
boot and is not recognized as a USB device by the PC.
2.7 FlexRay interface (FLX1, FLX2)
The ES583.1 features a FlexRay interface with two channels (channel A and
channel B) that are routed to a 9-pin DSUB plug connector FLX1/FLX2. The
FlexRay channels A (FLX1) and B (FLX2) are completely independent channels
with separate connections.
The FlexRay interface is electrically isolated from the USB port. No electrical
decoupling exists between the FlexRay channels.
Operation of the module at USB 1.0 interfaces is not supported.
The module must be directly connected to the USB port of your PC. The use of
USB-cables extending the connection between the ES583.1 and the PC is not
allowed.
2.7.1 Properties
The FlexRay applications supported by the ES583.1 are listed in an overview in
chapter on page 28.
2.7.2 Bus termination resistor
The FlexRay specification allows the design of different bus topologies, such as
passive bus, passive star or active star.
Each of the topologies requires a corresponding bus termination. The FlexRay
termination selected by ETAS in the context of the FlexRay specification measures
100 ohm. To support the design in FlexRay networks, ETAS offers FlexRay cables
and matching FlexRay terminations. The terminations must be connected to the
cable or the plug.

Hardware description ETAS
2.7.3 Synchronization nodes
After the start of a FlexRay network, the local clock generators of all nodes of the
network must be synchronized. Prerequisites for the synchronization process are
at least two nodes that can send sync frames (synchronization nodes). The other
nodes of the network synchronize themselves by analyzing the occurrence of the
sync frame and adjusting their local clock generator.
The FlexRay interface of the ES583.1 is equipped with an additional internal syn-
chronization node. The synchronization node can take over only synchronization
functions and is internally connected with the FlexRay channels FLX1 and FLX2.
If this synchronization node sends Start-up/Sync messages as the second node of
the FlexRay network, then FlexRay networks in which no other nodes with syn-
chronization module exist can be started and synchronized with a single ES583.1
module.
Application examples
• Testing/starting up FlexRay ECUs outside of FlexRay networks
• Flashing ECUs via FlexRay
2.8 Firmware update
The firmware of the ES583.1 can be updated by the user so that future versions
of the module can also be used. The firmware update is done with the help of
the service software "Hardware Service Pack" (HSP) from the connected PC.
Note
During a firmware update, the USB connection to the PC must not be discon-
nected!
