PLIN-USB
Isolated USB interface for LIN networks
PLIN-USB connects a PC to a LIN bus through USB. It can play the master or a slave node, so it suits both bus monitoring and simulating missing nodes during ECU development and testing. It supports ISO 17987 and every LIN specification up to version 2.2.
The interface detects bit rate, frame length and checksum type on its own. It runs an autonomous scheduler for unconditional, event and sporadic frames. The LIN connection is isolated up to 500 V and protected against short circuits to the transceiver supply and to ground. PLIN-View Pro and the PLIN-API come with it.
