Vehicle Instrumentation of the Future

Since the number of test vehicles for automotive development continues to be reduced, flexible instrumentation solutions must be found. With the new ES400 Micro I/O & Measurement Modules ETAS now offers a hardware series that fulfills the requirements for flexible instrumentation. Any test vehicle instrumented with ES400 Micro I/O & Modules can be used for a number of different development activities with minimal effort in terms of wiring, re-configuration, and system set up.

For use in the engine compartment of a vehicle, the ES400 compact measuring modules offer clear advantages. Several ES400 modules can be daisy-chained and mounted close to the measuring points. A single cable, guided through the vehicle’s firewall, connects the measuring system to the laptop running the measuring software. Since measuring system and laptop communicate via Fast Ethernet protocol, data from a large amount of channels can be synchronized and measured at fast acquisition rates. These options considerably surpass those available on the CAN bus.

As the first products of the new ES400 hardware series, ETAS introduces the ES411 A/D Module with Sensor Supply and the ES420 Thermo Module.
