The Drive Recorder ES720.1 is based on an embedded PC with the Windows XP Embedded operating system and replaces the PC of the measuring setup. Once the easy-to-use Drive Recorder has been configured, the ES720.1 automatically records data of connected modules.
– Wide supply voltage range – High mechanical stability and robustness • Part of the ETAS Tool Suite The complete technical data of the ES720.1 can be found in the chapter "Tech- nical Data" on page 57. ES720.1 - User’s Guide...
The housings of this device family can also be connected with each other, quickly and easily (see chapter 5.1 on page 35). The ES720.1 module is designed for use in the lab, on the test bench and in the passenger cell of motor vehicles.
ETAS Connections 3.3.1 Front Side of the Device The following connections are located on the front side of the ES720.1: • ETH (Ethernet, SYNC-OUT) • (4 USB ports) The "Power" button to the right of the USB sockets can be used to switch the Drive Recorder on or off.
• WLAN: function state at "WLAN" port The LEDs ETH and WLAN show the function states at the assigned connection in the enabled state of the ES720.1 (operating state "On"). The WLAN LED is enabled only in versions with WLAN module.
For the display of some states, two or four LEDs are used at the same time (see table). Fields in the table highlighted with a gray background identify displays of the LEDs that are not relevant for the description of the respective state. MEAS Description The ES720.1 booted, no valid license is available. Flashing Flashing Flashing...
Measurement finished Error "Power" Button By pressing the "Power" button on the front side of the device, the ES720.1 changes between the operating states "On" and "Off". The function of the "Power" button can be taken over by a remote connection ("I/O"...
When the ES720.1 is initially connected with operating voltage, the module switches on for a few seconds. During this period, the ES720.1 is being initialized and configured. The module acknowledges the operation with a brief acoustic signal and waits in the operating state "Low Power Standby".
• Support of the "Wake-Up" function (see chapter 4.9 on page 29) • Update of the firmware/configuration software of the Drive Recorder "USB" Port The ES720.1 is equipped with four independent USB ports to expand the module with external devices. Only devices whose software/driver is compatible with Windows XP Embedded are supported.
Each of the four USB ports can provide a maximum output current of 500 mA as specified in the USB standard. The maximum total of the output currents of the 4 USB ports of the ES720.1 is less than four times the maximum output current of a single USB port.
Status of outputs corresponds to the status of the LED assigned in each case on the front of the module The ES720.1 can record the signals of digital inputs and control the digital out- puts. The inputs and outputs are protected against overvoltages. 4.5.2...
The "WLAN" port for connecting a WLAN antenna is available for all product variants of the ES720.1. The "WLAN" port can be used only for the product variants ES720.1-8W and ES720.1-16W. Only these product variants are fitted with an internal WLAN module and connected with the "WLAN"...
4.8.2 Operating State "Standby" The ES720.1 is connected with the external power supply and is in one of the two "Standby" operating states of the ES720.1: • Operating state "Low Power Standby" and • Operating state "Fast Boot Standby".
Change between the operating states of the ES720.1 (simplified) The digits in the status diagram correspond to the possible operating state changes of the ES720.1, initiated by events (trigger or timer) of the functions "Wake-Up" and "Sleep" (see chapter 4.9.2 on page 29).
Page 30
Available Timers Configurable timers allow delaying events that are intended to trigger a change of the operating state of the ES720.1. If necessary, a new hibernation file is being created. Shutdown/Standby Delay Timer: The counter can be used to define the time period in the configuration program by which all events that are intended to trigger a change of the operating state of the ES720.1 are delayed.
"RPBI" pin at the "I/O" port) is briefly pressed. 4.9.4 Powering off the Module Power-off Process Powering off the ES720.1 is carried out from all operating states in a defined sequence: 1. Stopping the on-going measurement 2. Waiting until the completion of the data recording 3.
If errors occur while saving the data during the power-off process, it is indicated by the ER LED, and the power-off process continues. With a restart of the ES720.1, the data of the file is restored by means of a restore mechanism.
This emergency-off is carried out according to the same mechanisms as a sudden interruption of the power supply. If the temperature inside the housing returns to the normal range, the ES720.1 can be restarted. The data of the interrupted recording are being restored.

5.1.2 Fixing a Module onto a Carrier System The ES720.1 has a rugged metal housing with nonskid plastic feet. The unit can easily be screwed onto a carrier system for installation in a vehicle or in the lab. The screw thread for attaching your device is already contained in the housing and is easily accessible.
5.1.3 Connecting Several Modules Mechanically As ETAS system housing was used, the ES720.1 can also be connected to mod- ules of the ETAS compact line (ES59x, ES6xx, ES910). These can be combined easily using the T-Brackets provided to form larger blocks.
ETAS Getting Started Fig. 5-3 Connecting the ES720.1 to Another Module • Quarter-turn the seals of the T-Brackets. This locks the connection of the two modules. • Click the other two T-Brackets into the assembly slits on the opposite long side of the device and lock these brackets too.

Configuration Files and Configuration Program The configuration of the Drive Recorder requires an INCA export file and two ES720.1 configuration files. To be able to start an experiment and the recording of data, all three files must be stored on the Drive Recorder.
Several ES720.1 in a Network at the same Time If several ES720.1 are to be used in a single network at the same time, the stan- dard IP address, but not the Network Identifier, must be adjusted. To be able to communicate with INCA and with other Ethernet modules of the ETAS standard Ethernet network, the Network Identifier must contain 192.168.40.xxx.

Please observe the LED which provides information on the functions of the inter- face and the ES720.1 (see the chapter "LEDs" on page 19) to be able to judge the operational state of the ES720.1 as well as troubleshooting measures.
If you use more than one PC or notebook for accessing the same ETAS hardware, the network adapters used must be configured to use the same logical network. If this is not possible, it is necessary to switch the ETAS hardware off and on again between different sessions (repowering).
Personal Firewall blocks Communication Cause: Permissions given through the firewall block ETAS hardware Personal firewalls may interfere with access to ETAS Ethernet hardware. The automatic search for hardware typically cannot find any Ethernet hardware at all, although the configuration parameters are correct.
