Course: LIN bus in automotive

The training system is based on 2 UniTrain modules, which can be connected to a real exterior mirror, which is also included in the scope of delivery. Real LIN control units are integrated on all modules so that real LIN communication can be realised between all participants. Interaction takes place by means of various control elements on the modules, with which, for example, the mirror adjustment or the window lift can be controlled. Due to the "LIN monitor" integrated in the software, the entire data traffic can be read and analysed.

Course contents:

• Development of bus systems in motor vehicles
• Modern automotive bus systems
• Topology and components of a LIN-bus system in a motor vehicle
• Experimental determination of electrical properties of a LIN bus (voltage levels)
• Introduction to the principle of addressing on a LIN bus
• Master and slave principle
• Investigation of data fields by measurement
• Structure of a packet frame for an LIN message
• Analysis of LIN messages using LIN monitor and oscilloscope
• Interpretation of LIN messages using LIN monitor and oscilloscope
• Editing and sending LIN messages using a PC
• Fault simulation (software-activated errors)
• Course duration: 8 h approx., (fault finding 1 h approx.)
