VN5611/VN5612/VN5601 - Ethernet Interfaces and Adapter for Portable Use
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. Thanks to the small and compact format, the devices are ideally suited for portable use. USB 3.0 is used as the interface to the computer.
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 interface to the PC, which can be used without affecting the Windows network infrastructure. The device provides accurate hardware timestamps and allows to synchronize connected devices via IEEE 1588 (PTP).

Application Areas
VN5611/VN5612
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
- 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.
Feature Matrix
The functions refer to the use of the interface in combination with the Vector tools (CANoe, CANape).
The VN5601 serves exclusively as an adapter for other Vector products.
