Manual 2.1 VN5610 Ethernet/CAN Network Interface Introduction About the VN5610 The VN5610 is an entirely new development from Vector which supports the Ethernet physical layer 100BASE-TX, 1000BASE-T and BroadR-Reach from Broadcom. BroadR-Reach is a physical layer especially used in automotive electronics. Figure 1: VN5610 Ethernet/CAN Interface The VN5610 enables the transparent monitoring and logging of Ethernet data streams and CAN events with minimal latency times and high resolution time stamps.
Manual 2.3 VN5610 Ethernet/CAN Network Interface Use Case Examples 2.3.1 Standalone Media Converter BroadR-Reach/ IEEE 802.3 The Ethernet channels of the VN5610 can be configured independently. That way the VN5610 can be used as a media converter between an ECU using the BroadRReach physical layer and any standard Ethernet equipment (e. g. loggers) using IEEE 802.3. Setup Figure 2: Media Converter 2.3.
Manual VN5610 Ethernet/CAN Network Interface This allows applications such as CANalyzer.Ethernet or CANoe.Ethernet to trace Ethernet data with accurate time stamps. Bypassing modes For bypassing two modes are available, which can be used depending on the needed application: > PHY bypassing Use this mode if you want to monitor Ethernet packets without influencing the constant processing time. Sending of additional Ethernet packets is not possible in this mode.
Manual VN5610 Ethernet/CAN Network Interface > MAC bypassing Use this mode if you want to monitor Ethernet packets and also send additional packets. In this mode, the processing time is dynamic. Figure 5: MAC bypassing Physical Layer Dynamic Bypassing Latency ∆t* Frame Length 64 Byte Frame Length 1500 Byte BroadR-Reach BroadR-Reach approx. 9.4 µs approx. 131.5 µs BroadR-Reach IEEE 100 Mbit approx. 9.1 µs approx. 131.3 µs IEEE 100 Mbit IEEE 100 Mbit approx. 8.7 µs approx. 130.
Manual Time stamp clock for Ethernet and CAN VN5610 Ethernet/CAN Network Interface The VN5610 uses a common time stamp clock for Ethernet and CAN events. So if the measurement setup is extended by a CAN network, the generated CAN time stamps are always in sync with the Ethernet time stamps which helps analyzing the network. Figure 6: Extended measuring setup Note: Additional Vector network interfaces can be synchronized by software or hardware (see section Time Synchronization on page 24).
Manual VN5610 Ethernet/CAN Network Interface 2.3.3 Remaining Bus Simulation Developing networks The VN5610 is able to send and receive data packages on two separate Ethernet channels as well as events on two separate CAN channels. With this, the VN5610 is a perfect choice for the remaining bus simulation during the development of complex networks. Setup Figure 7: Simulated nodes Note: For the complex remaining bus simulation CANoe.Ethernet is required. © Vector Informatik GmbH Version 1.
Manual VN5610 Ethernet/CAN Network Interface 2.3.4 Avionics Full Duplex Switched (X) Ethernet Redundant networks The VN5610 and its independent Ethernet channels are suitable for monitoring and stressing safety-critical networks like in AFDX. Ethernet frames can be simultaneously sent over both channels as well as received with high resolution time stamps. With this, the VN5610 is a great device for AFDX measurements and test benches.
Manual 2.4 VN5610 Ethernet/CAN Network Interface Getting Started 2.4.1 Step 1: Driver Installation Please use the drivers from the included Vector Driver Disk. 1. Execute Vector Driver Setup from the auto start menu or directly from \Drivers\Setup.exe before the VN5610 is connected to the PC over USB. If you have already connected the VN5610, the Windows found new Hardware wizard appears. Close this wizard and then execute the driver setup. 2. Finish the driver installation with the setup.
Manual VN5610 Ethernet/CAN Network Interface If you want to change the default Ethernet configuration, select a connected VN5610 from the list and double click Default Ethernet Configuration. Figure 10: Accessing the Default Ethernet Configuration dialog. Figure 11: Default Ethernet Configuration Note: Further details on the Vector Hardware Config tool can be found in the separate installation instructions at the end of this manual. © Vector Informatik GmbH Version 1.
Manual VN5610 Ethernet/CAN Network Interface Note: In order to get a working Ethernet link between the VN5610 and another Ethernet device, the auto negotiation has to be activated in both devices. Alternatively, both devices can be manually configured with the same parameters (only full duplex mode). Please note that the Ethernet link will run in half duplex mode if one device uses auto negotiation while the other one is manually configured. The VN5610 supports only full duplex mode.
Manual VN5610 Ethernet/CAN Network Interface 2.4.4 Step 4: Quick Test 1. Connect both Ethernet channels of the VN5610 with an Ethernet cable. 2. Connect both BroadR-Reach channels at the D-SUB9 connector as follows: 3. Start \Drivers\Common\ETHloop.exe from the driver CD. 4. Select an installed VN5610 from the list. 5. Press [Twinkle] and check if the LED Status (see section LEDs on page 21) blinks. 6. Start the test by pressing the button [Start Test]. The test is successful if no error messages occur.

Manual 3.1 Common Features Time Synchronization 3.1.1 General Information Time stamps and events Time stamps are useful when analyzing incoming or outgoing data or event sequences on a specific bus. Figure 15: Time stamps of two CAN channels in CANalyzer Generating time stamps Each event which is sent or received by a Vector network interface has an accurate time stamp. Time stamps are generated for each channel in the Vector network interface.
Manual Common Features Figure 17: Example of unsynchronized network interfaces. Independent time stamps drift apart. To compensate for these time stamp deviations between the Vector network interfaces, the time stamps can be either synchronized by software or by hardware (see next section). Note: The accuracy of the software sync is typically in range of 100 µs. Note: The accuracy of the hardware sync is typically in range of 1 µs. © Vector Informatik GmbH Version 1.
Manual Common Features 3.1.2 Software Sync Synchronization by software The software time synchronization is driver-based and available for all applications without any restrictions. The time stamp deviations from different Vector network interfaces are calculated and synchronized to the common PC clock. For this purpose no further hardware setup is required.
Manual Common Features 3.1.3 Hardware Sync Synchronization by hardware A more accurate time synchronization of multiple devices is provided by the hardware synchronization which has to be supported by the application (e. g CANalyzer, CANoe). Two Vector network interfaces can therefore be connected with the SYNCcableXL (see accessories manual, article number 05018).
