LIN (Local Interconnect Network) is a cost-effective and deterministic communication system for connecting ECUs with smart sensors and actuators.

DENoe.LIN and CANoe.LIN

DENoe.LIN and CANoe.LIN provide unrivalled features for developing and testing LIN networks.

Advanced Development Features:

• Simulation and analysis of LIN networks/nodes according to LDF
• Automatic modelling and simulation of LIN2.0 reconfiguration
• Functions for modelling node application and gateways
• Interactive manipulation of scheduler, frames, and signals
• Support of LIN diagnostics

Advanced Test Features (requires an XL interface):

Both tools also provide you with special functions for defining, controlling and reporting user-defined LIN node tests. A full implementation of the LIN2.0 Conformance Tests for Master and Slave nodes is included in the scope of delivery. Conformance Tests for J2602 are in preparation.

Advanced Stress Functions (requires an XL interface):

To stress your LIN network with DENoe.LIN and CANoe.LIN, no special hardware is required. Together with the Vector XL-interfaces, the included LIN Stress Feature Set provides you with a complete set of functions for stimulating errors and manipulating the LIN protocol.

Advanced Timing Analysis (requires an XL interface):

DENalyzer.LIN and CANalyzer.LIN also provide you with highly accurate timing information, e.g:

• Start and end of frame time-stamps
• End of byte and end of header time-stamps
• Sync break, sync delimiter and wakeup signal length
• Baudrate and oscillator tolerance of Master and Slave nodes

Open Interfaces

Using DENoe/CANoe.LIN open interfaces, you can easily communicate with third-party and user applications:

• Panel interface for integrating ActiveX Controls
• COM interface for integrating VisualBasic panels
• COM server for remote control by external applications

The popular software tools DENalyzer.LIN and CANalyzer.LIN provide you with the professional measurement and analysis features of DENoe/CANoe.LIN.

Professional Analysis Features:

• Symbolic network analysis according to LDF
• Error and event detection
• Simulation of Master or Slave node
• Interactive manipulation of frames and signals
• Numerical and graphical visualization of signals
• Configurable display panels
• Symbolic interpretation of ISO TP diagnostic frames
• Network statistics
• Filter and trigger blocks
• Logging and replay blocks

Advanced Network Analysis (requires an XL interface):

Take advantage of DENalyzer.LIN's and CANalyzer.LIN's sophisticated features for LIN2.0 network analysis:

• Symbolic interpretation of LIN2.0 reconfiguration commands
• Event-triggered frame event for detecting no responses, single responses, collisions, and collision resolution
• Intelligent analysis of dynamic frames

Interfaces:

• CANcardXL is a compact PC card (type II) and is ideally suited for applications running on notebooks and desktop PCs.
• CANcaseXL is a robust and versatile hardware interface supporting the USB 2.0 interface.
• CANcaseXL log combines a reliable and robust data logger with a professional CAN/LIN bus interface for USB 2.0.
• CANboardXL is the hardware interface for PCI and is best-suited for desktop applications.
• CANboardXL pxi is the ideal hardware interface for industrial applications running on Compact PCI or PXI hardware.
• CANboardXL PCIe

Network transceivers are available as so-called LINcabs or CANcabs for the CANcardXL and as LINpiggies or CANpiggies for the CANcaseXL and CANboardXL. The LINcabs and LINpiggies are opto-decoupled and can be powered either internally or externally in the range 6-18V. A LINcab/piggy for 24V networks will be available soon.

For the easy acquisition of analog and digital I/O signals, Vector also offers a configurable I/O interface cable for the CANcardXL.

The XL-Driver Library provides you with an innovative PC programming interface for creating your own LIN and CAN applications with Vector’s XL-hardware.

Hardware Tools:

• CANister - flexible and freely configurable LIN and CAN node for production and field testing.
• CANlog 4 - advanced programmable data logger for LIN and CAN.
