DSPACE offers numerous SCALEXIO Ethernet boards for different SCALEXIO systems
The SCALEXIO Ethernet boards provide additional Ethernet interfaces to the SCALEXIO Processing Unit, the SCALEXIO LabBox or the SCALEXIO AutoBox. Boards that offer native BroadR-Reach support and an integrated Ethernet switch are available for both platforms, and they can be configured via modules.
- Ethernet interfaces from 10 Mbit/s up to 10 GBit/s
- Automotive Ethernet interfaces of 100/1,000 Mbit/s
- Integrated Ethernet switch
Native 100/1000Base-T1 Support
The DS6333-PE/-CS Automotive Ethernet Board and the DS6335-CS Ethernet Board provide five additional Ethernet ports for a SCALEXIO system. Four of these ports can be configured for automotive or standard Ethernet communication, depending on the modules used. The fifth port always provides a standard Ethernet connection and is ideal for monitoring or for cascading two switches. The boards support applications such as ECU interfacing and simulator coupling, and enable you to configure a system as a simulation node in an Ethernet SOME/IP (scalable service-oriented middleware over IP) network. The cost-effective DS6335-CS is dedicated for use cases such as simulator coupling and ECU interfacing and does not include SOME/IP support.
Key Benefits
- 4 ports can be configured for standard Ethernet (10/100/1000 Mbit/s) and automotive Ethernet (100/1000 Mbit/s)
- 1 additional port (e.g., for data mirroring or cascading)
- Integrated managed Ethernet switch
- 4 Gigabit Ethernet controllers
Standard Ethernet Support up to 10 GBit/s
The DS6331-PE Ethernet Board and the DS6334-PE Ethernet Board provide four additional Ethernet ports for the SCALEXIO Processing Unit. They support applications which do not require automotive Ethernet connections or an Ethernet switch. The DS6335-CS is a cost-effective board for projects without a requirement for SOME/IP communication, such as bypassing and simulator coupling. If service-oriented communication (SOME/IP) has to be configured with the dSPACE Ethernet Configuration Package, the DS6331-PE is the right choice.
For use cases that require a higher bandwith, dSPACE provides the DS6336-PE and DS6336-CS Ethernet boards. These boards offer two ports with separate controllers. Each port can be used with the following data rates: 100 MBit/s, 1 GBit/s, 2.5 GBit/s, 5 GBit/s, and 10 GBit/s. These data rates enable you to use ECUs with multi-gigabit interfaces by means of a media converter.
The Ethernet boards that can be extended by adding one or more modules providing additional features.
Key Benefits
- Optimized boards tailored for different applications
- 2 to 4 ports providing data rates from 10 MBit/s to 10 GBit/s standard Ethernet
- No switch, enabling fast and direct Ethernet traffic
BroadR-Reach, 100Base-T1, and 1000Base-T1
100Base-T1 is a 100 Mbit/s Ethernet interface developed for automotive use cases. It operates with one unshielded or shielded twisted pair of wires. 100Base-T1 is based on BroadR-Reach and has been standardized by the IEEE 802.3bw working group. The 1000Base-T1 standard is similar to 100Base-T1 but supports a data transfer of 1 Gbit/s over one twisted pair of wires.
