ES511 CAN and LIN Network Module
The ES511 is a 4-port Ethernet switch with 2 CAN and 2 LIN interfaces.
The ES511 facilitates monitoring, ECU access (measurement, calibration, diagnostics, and flash programming on CAN), in addition to LIN monitoring. Moreover, it synchronizes a multitude of measuring channels of ES400 and ES63x modules and CAN devices.
ES400 and ES63x devices in Daisy Chain configuration that are connected to an ES511 module are displayed under the Daisy Chain Modules system in the tree view of the Hardware Configuration Editor.
XETK devices that are connected to an ES511 module are displayed under the Ethernet system in the tree view of the Hardware Configuration Editor.
System limits
The ES511 has the following interfaces:
- Two CAN interfaces
- Two LIN interfaces
The configuration of the LIN interface is possible only if the Add-On INCA-LIN was also installed.
INCA supports up to eight ES511 modules simultaneously.
Regardless of which interfaces you use, you have to set global parameters for the ES511. These settings then apply to all integrated interfaces.
Module parameters
Parameters tabNameEnter any name for the system.
Serial numberShows the serial number read from the device.
If the hardware is not connected or if it was not found during the hardware search, enter the complete number by hand (it can be found on the device).
The serial number must be entered as it is needed by INCA to identify the device. The serial number is stored in the hardware configuration.
Alias nameEnter an internal name of the device. It is stored in the device like the serial number and helps you to distinguish between devices of the same type. By assigning a unique name which expresses the role of the device, it can be used more conveniently than the serial number, especially when you link the devices in the Hardware Mapping dialog box. The alias name is used, for example, if you switch between different vehicles when measuring with the laptop or if you have installed different devices of the same type in the vehicle.
Firmware versionShows the firmware version of the connected hardware module.
INCA hardware communicationShows the hardware connection between the hardware and the PC.
