The VN5430 is a compact interface for Ethernet simulation and test tasks, offering versatile configuration options including six automotive Ethernet ports to implement a wide range of simulation and test scenarios while maintaining the network topology.
In addition to the exclusive Ethernet connection to the computer via 1000BASE‑T, the VN5430 provides an RJ45 connector for media conversion or measurement of standard Ethernet traffic and is designed for use both in the office and on test benches.
Highlights
- Efficient high‑data‑rate processing: Advanced filtering and flexible configuration options enable reliable handling of high‑throughput Ethernet traffic with reduced processing overhead.
- Flexible port segmentation: Support for multiple segmentation modes, such as link and switch segments, allows precise adaptation to various test setups and application access requirements.
- Standalone operation: Integrated memory allows device configurations to be stored on the VN5430 and supports operation as a standalone switch or media converter without a connected PC, requiring only a power supply.
- Legacy compatibility: Support for the 1000BASE‑T1 legacy mode ensures compatibility with existing systems in modern test environments.
Main Application Areas
Ethernet Monitoring
Transparent in/out/monitor connection between two nodes with Ethernet monitoring using precise timestamps.
Remaining Bus Simulation
Customer‑defined hardware configuration for flexible remaining‑bus simulation with CANoe Option Ethernet, including abstraction between network and simulation and the ability to mimic network topologies.
Media Conversion
Support for one configurable link between automotive Ethernet (100/1000BASE‑T1) and standard Ethernet (100/1000BASE‑T).
Direct Access
Individual access to each port, for example to test multiple identical systems on one test bench, reprogram ECUs, or perform vehicle diagnostics.
