3. Before using an IPETRONIK measurement system in the vehicle it has to be verified that no function of the vehicle, which is relevant for secure operation, might be influenced: - by the installation of the IPETRONIK measurement system in the vehicle, - by an potential malfunction of the IPETRONIK system during the test drive.

2.1 Hardware setup The following drawing shows interface cable for M-THERMO 96. It consists of 2 CAN interfaces represented as LEMO 9-pole M-CAN connector and the second one in the SUB-D 9 format. The 2 CAN busses are connected to the IPEhub2 which is then sending the data over Ethernet to the test bench PC.

2.1 Hardware setup As indicated below from the IPEhub2 an Ethernet cable is then connected to the PC. Hardware_Manual_M-THERMO_96 IPETRONIK GmbH & Co. KG ipetronik.com 7/30...
2.1.2 CAN interface The M-THERMO 96 can also operate with an CAN interface. In this setup it is recommended to uses a 2 channel CAN card like IPEcan FD Pro. With a CAN interface, you have the ability to use it in many combinations with other CAN based measurement modules.

In the CAN card based set-up the cabling requirements are higher. The cable 520-502 is providing the SUB-D interface to the CAN card and M-CAN T Junction is required to join the M-CAN 9-pole connectors. Hardware_Manual_M-THERMO_96 IPETRONIK GmbH & Co. KG ipetronik.com 9/30...
3 Device configuration via web interface The intended standard use case is to use the M-THERMO 96 with an IPEhub2 over an Ethernet interface. The configuration is done over a web interface with can be reached over the following address: ipe.connect.local...
The default view is the all channel table instrument which provides readings for each channel. In the factory configuration the first reading in the thermocouple voltage in micro Volts and in the second channel the resistance in mili Ohm is provided.
