Ethernet in Automotive

This training system enables the trainees to set up a real

Ethernet network and put it into operation. As in the real
vehicle, communication with the outside world in particular is
realised via the existing EOBD connection. This is integrated
as a real connection on one of the three modules.

The remaining two modules represent an infotainment net-

work that communicates via Ethernet. The focus here is par-
ticularly on the transmission of real-time data. The individual
control units can be configured individually using the firm-
ware dongles supplied. Thus, one module becomes a media
server and the other a control unit for the vehicle‘s sound
system.
