Active Tap / Media Converter / Gateway for Automotive Ethernet

 The RAD-Star 2 has two 100BASE-T1 (BroadR-Reach®) PHYs, allowing it to tap a single link between ECUs and/or switch ports. It can also be configured to act as a media converter for up to 2 devices. In addition to its Automotive Ethernet capabilities, it offers 2x CAN FD channels.

Applications

The RAD-Star 2 has many features that make it the ideal tool for a variety of applications, including:

▶ ECU level and system level automated testing
▶ Automotive Ethernet network monitoring
▶ Network simulation / Restbus simulation
▶ Automotive Ethernet to CAN FD gateway applications
▶ ECU reflashing over Automotive Ethernet or CAN FD


Active Tap

To monitor the full duplex BroadR-Reach® Ethernet physical layer, you need to insert an active gateway. This specialized gateway passes all traffic between the BroadR-Reach® devices at nearly zero latency and also makes two copies for the connected 100Mbps Ethernet tool - also at wire speeds.

ECU / Gateway Testing

The RAD-Star 2 has the ability to test between two ECUs (hosts) or between an ECU and a 100BASE-T1 swich, plus two CAN FD networks, with up to 10 ns time accuracy. This makes it ideal for ECU testing applications, as well as port to port and Ethernet to CAN FD latency testing.

Media Converter Modes

The RAD-Star 2 can also be configured to act as a media converter, allowing a PC to interact with two Automotive Ethernet ECUs. This allows you to simulate nodes, or perform direct diagnostics or ECU flashing. In addition, the “Pure” Media Converter Mode disables encapsulation of messages and allows connections between media of differing bit rates, buffering as needed

Features

  • Tap copies full duplex communications between master and slave with low latency.
  • Can serve as a BroadR-Reach® (100BASE-T1) to 10/100/1000 Mb Ethernet bridge.
  • Simulate errors by introducing errors between master and slave.

The RAD-Star device contains four Ethernet connections. Two Ethernet connections are connected to the BroadR-Reach® physical layer. Two Ethernet connections are connected to standard 100Mbps Ethernet that routs traffic to a PC using Vehicle Spy. A high speed intelligent router manages message passing between Ethernet PHYs.
