Network interface

Automotive Ethernet Tester

The Vector
(Stuttgart, Germany)
VN5620 is a compact
interface for analysis,
simulation, and testing tasks for automotive Ethernet networks and CAN/CAN
FD. This interface
enables users to benefit from a wide variety of possible uses
like Ethernet monitoring, remaining bus simulation, media
conversion and direct access to individual ports. With the
VN5620, the developer can cover a broad range of application areas. Ethernet monitoring, for example, ensures a transparent connection between two nodes with a precise time
stamp. Free hardware configuration options make it possible
for users to design an existing bus simulation with CANoe
Ethernet. The VN5620 also features media conversion functions and a data link between 100BASE-T1/1000BASE-T1 and
the 100BASE-TX/1000BASE-T physical layer. The user can
utilize the interface both at the office and on test benches, as
the temperature and voltage ranges have been designed accordingly for these purposes.

RUETZ SYSTEM
SOLUTIONS' (Munich,
Germany) Automotive
Ethernet Tester (AET) is a
highly-automated test
system for OPEN Alliance
TC8 switching and AVB/
TSN tests at the component level. The test cases
are script-based and parameterized prior to a test run via a
single configuration file that contains all relevant properties of
the device under test (DUT). The DUT and the test cases can
be configured via easy-to-understand application interfaces.
The AET consists of a 19-in test rack with control and analysis
software. A PC control unit regulates the test system.
Depending on the implementation, the test platform can contain up to 15 Ethernet ports (100BASE-T1, 1000BASE-T1), each
of which can simulate and evaluate specific test scenarios.
The test platform provides a display and PPS output for precise evaluation of the gPTP synchronization, as well as a display for the port status.

Dual-motor inverter
Suitable for highpower and hightorque electric vehicle
propulsion,
BorgWarner subsidiary Cascadia Motion
LLC's (Portland, Ore.)
PM500 is the largest
inverter in their product line. This dualmotor inverter can deliver a combined 700 kW (940 hp)
worth of peak power to the motors by way of 840-V capability and 1400 Arms combined-phase current. Independent
control of each motor allows the PM500 to be used on dual-stack motors (two motor cores with singular output) as
well as torque vectoring applications, where torque is varied between driver and passenger side wheels to aid cornering. Not just for motorsports and high-performance cars,
the inverter is also applicable to commercial vehicle applications requiring dual powerful motors, high voltage and
high current. According to Cascadia Motion, the motivation
behind PM500 was to double that capability while also
shrinking into a downsized enclosure and using an advanced heat exchanger.
