Solution
This issue can be resolved by trying the following steps:
- Open NI Measurement and Automation Explorer (MAX).
- Make sure the Link Speed of the ENET port which is connected to the real ECU is NOT Link Down. If it is Link Down, please confirm 2 things with the ECU developer:
-
- PHY State of the ECU port.
If the PHY state of the ECU port is Master, the PHY state of NI's ENET port should be set to Slave. If the PHY state of the ECU port is Slave, the PHY state of NI's ENET port should be set to Master.
-
- Link Speed of the ECU port.
The Link Speed of NI's ENET port should be the same with the Link Speed of the ECU port.
- Once the PHY State and Link Speed Configuration are set correctly, Power on the ECU. Once the connection is established, you will see the Link Speed of the ENET port is 100 Mb/s or 1000Mb/s in MAX.
