LIN bus for lower complexity applications
The LIN protocol serves an increasingly important role in providing low-cost feature expansion in modern vehicles. LIN bus is a cost-effective supplement to CAN bus.
What is LIN bus?
LIN bus is a cost-effective supplement to CAN bus. The overall performance and reliability of the network is lower compared to CAN bus, but the protocol is very suitable for non-critical components (such as electric adjustment of seat and/or windows in a cabin and climate control).
LINAK® actuators with integrated LIN bus
LIN bus is part of our IC Integrated Controller™ series and is a communication technology that has been on the market for years.
The LIN bus network enables one or more LINAK actuators to be connected to a LIN bus master. A range of several actuators can exist on the same network. By following the LINAK LIN bus framework, the system will allow full control and status feedback over the network.
We offer a range of actuators with integrated LIN bus.
Features and benefits
The LIN bus can provide feedback information about the piston position and whether the end stop is reached, error information, system identification data and actual current at run-time. It is also possible to send input commands to the system and invoke actuator movement based on direction.
