ZD AES 1000

8-port automotive Ethernet switching · Enhanced Ethernet Switch

An Enhanced Ethernet Switch that adds eight 100/1000BASE-T1 automotive Ethernet ports, a development tool for testing and analysing automotive Ethernet. It disconnects at the physical layer and cycles through several in-vehicle network devices in turn, creating virtual point-to-point connections. This solves the problem of devices with different physical interfaces that cannot be connected directly, enables high-speed data transfer and supports gPTP time synchronization. It can be used for automotive Ethernet chip debugging, as a physical simulation node together with simulation software, and for automotive Ethernet sensor debugging.

Key Features

Key Features

01Compatible with multiple connector types

Compatible with H-MTD and MATEnet automotive Ethernet connectors, matching the physical interfaces of ECUs from different vendors.

02100M/1000M automotive Ethernet ports

Eight 100/1000BASE-T1 ports with configurable master/slave mode for multi-device networks.

03Visual device configuration

The switch is configured visually through desktop software, making ports and switching policies easy to manage.

04Three control modes

DIP switches, wired control and USB serial programming suit both bench and in-vehicle environments.

05VBAT power

Supports VBAT power for in-vehicle test environments.

06High-speed data transfer

Pairs with 1×1000BASE-T and 1×10GBASE-T high-speed Ethernet ports for fast data transfer.

Applications

Applications

01
MONITORING

Automotive Ethernet communication monitoring

ECU ETHERNET COMMUNICATION MONITORING

Monitor 100/1000BASE-T1 automotive Ethernet traffic between in-vehicle ECUs from a PC.

  • Physical-layer loop-in: Disconnects at the physical layer and cycles through several in-vehicle network devices in turn
  • Virtual point-to-point connections: Solves direct-connection problems caused by differing physical interfaces
Challenge: In-vehicle ECUs use different interface types (H-MTD/MATEnet), so direct monitoring is often blocked by a physical mismatch.

02
BUS SIMULATION

Automotive Ethernet bus signal simulation

ETHERNET BUS SIGNAL SIMULATION

Together with simulation software on a PC, the device provides automotive Ethernet bus signal simulation. The AES 1000 joins the test environment as a physical simulation node with an in-vehicle network channel.

  • Physical simulation node: Takes part in bus simulation alongside simulation software
  • gPTP time synchronization: Keeps the simulation environment on the same time base as the vehicle system
Challenge: Pure software simulation lacks a real physical channel, and chip-level debugging needs a genuine T1 physical layer.

BYPASS LOGGING

Bypass logging with Datalogger

BYPASS RECORDING WITH DATALOGGER

Works with the Datalogger to bypass-log four automotive Ethernet links, monitoring and recording at the same time.

  • Bypass logging: Synchronised recording of four automotive Ethernet links
  • Sensor debugging: Can also be used to debug automotive Ethernet sensors
Challenge: In vehicle testing, the network topology has to stay unchanged while multiple data streams are recorded in full — conventional connection methods rarely achieve both.
