About ES166.1 - 10Base-T1S Automotive Ethernet Device

The ES166.1 works as either a gateway or a media converter for a 10Base-T1s network. The gateway mode supports multi-drop 10Base-T1S networks and can either send or receive frames in the network. In the media converter mode, the device acts as a transperant media converter, converting ethernet frames from the 10Base-T1S into Standard Ethernet format (IEEE 802.3). The communication speed of the ES166.1-FE on the host side is limited to a maximum of 100Mbit/s.

Scope of Application

The ES166.1 can be used for the following tasks:

  • Recording and capturing of communication data as well as calibration of ECUs

  • ECU diagnostics
