Ethernet Interfaces and Adapter for Portable Use
VN5611/VN5612/VN5601

The VN5611 and VN5612 are very compact and convenient interface products for Automotive Ethernet IEEE 100BASE-T1/1000BASE-T1 (VN5611) and Standard Ethernet IEEE 100BASE-TX/1000BASE-T (VN5612). They are used for the analysis of Ethernet networks, as well as for simulation and test tasks in the Ethernet environment.

The VN5601 is a very compact and high performance USB-to-Ethernet adapter for standard IEEE 1000BASE-T as well as IEEE 2.5GBASE-T. It is used for easy connection of devices with Standard Ethernet-based Vector Products (such as VN5240, VX1135, VX1161 and CSM modules) to the PC. The connection of these Vector products with the VN5601 is independent of the Windows network infrastructure. The device provides accurate hardware timestamps and allows synchronizing connected devices via IEEE 1588 (PTP).

VN5611/VN5612 Application Area

Ethernet Monitoring

  • Transparent connection (in/out/monitor) between two Automotive or Standard Ethernet nodes and monitoring with precise time stamps.

Network access for simulation and test purposes

  • Access to the connected automotive network in the context of a restbus simulation as well as for connecting virtual nodes to the network. The device forms a switch with up to 2 physical and up to 16 virtual ports for PC Tool access.
  •  In the test context, the sending of errored frames on individual ports is supported.
  • Individual access to each port, e.g. for testing ECUs as well as the intrusion of additional frames to the network traffic.

VN5601 Application Area

Connection of further Vector products

  • Easy connection of further Vector products with Ethernet interface, such as VN5240, VX1135, VX1161 and CSM modules.
    Provides precise time synchronization via PTP.
