4 ECUsim™ 5100 User Guide
1.0 Overview
ECUsim 5100 is a small, lightweight, benchtop simulator that can be used for
testing and development of OBD devices and software. It supports all
legislated OBD protocols, fixed and user adjustable parameter IDs (PIDs),
diagnostic trouble codes (DTCs), freeze frames, and many other SAE J1979
services.
The unit has five knobs assigned to common PIDs, a “fault event” button, and
indicator lights for power, connection, and MIL (Malfunction Indicator Light).
Physical connection to the scan tool is made through a standard SAE J1962
female connector.
The simulator can accept from one to three plug-in modules (PIMs), each
configured for a different OBD protocol. The user is able to select any one of
the three protocols using a three position switch, or make them active at the
same time.
ECUsim 5100 features a USB connection which can be used to configure the
PIMs and to monitor OBD traffic.
