LIN (Local Interconnect Network)

LIN is a cost-effective and deterministic communication protocol designed for connecting Electronic Control Units (ECUs) with smart sensors, actuators, and controls. EcuBus-Pro's LIN module provides comprehensive features for developing, analyzing, and testing LIN networks in compliance with LIN 2.x specifications.

IMPORTANT

All features described below require importing a LIN Description File (LDF). For more information about LDF, see the database documentation.

NOTE

Only support PEAK

Schedule Table Management

Control and monitor LIN network communications through schedule table execution.

Schedule Table Operations

1. Add Interaction

   • Access the schedule table configuration interface
   • Define communication parameters

2. Open Interaction

   • View and manage existing schedule tables

Node Simulation & Signal Editing

Configure and simulate LIN nodes to test network behavior.

Node Configuration Steps

1. Add Node

   • Create a new node in the network

2. Configure Node Settings

   • Set up node parameters and properties

3. Signal Value Editor

   • Edit signal values for configured nodes
   • Note: Only signals published by the configured node can be modified

LIN Transport Protocol and Diagnostics

Implement and test diagnostic services using LIN TP.

Diagnostic Operations

1. Configure LIN Tester

   • Import address information from LIN database
   • Set up diagnostic parameters

2. Diagnostic Execution

   • Enable schedule table execution (required for diagnostics)
   • Send diagnostic requests and monitor responses

   Response handling:

   • View diagnostic responses from simulated nodes
