LIN Bus logger


Our LIN bus logger is a LIN bus is a more stable and low-cost alternative for CAN bus in automotives. Similar to CAN bus logging/analyzer device, LIN analyzers are more vital for any OEM development team to perform the offline LIN bus diagnostics.

Our LIN bus logger device is a standalone device designed to connect to any LIN-enabled device, capture and store LIN bus data in non-volatile memory. It records raw LIN frames and the same can be easily extracted via USB using a custom Windows software. Its compact design ensures it fits in bench setup or inside a vehicle, making it ideal for device developments and field testing. Our custom software offers a user-friendly interface, allowing for downloading and quick analysis of LIN bus data.

Applications

LIN Bus diagnostics for HVAC system

Our LIN datalogger can be connected to the HVAC system’s LIN bus to monitor and log communication traffic between the master device (controller) and the slave devices (sensors and actuators). Once the LIN analyzer is connected, the system's communication is monitored in real time. This allows for troubleshooting and analysis of any issues that may arise within the HVAC system, ensuring optimal performance and functionality. The LIN datalogger can also provide valuable data for maintenance and future system improvements. Users can capture, and store LIN frames using the PreciCon software, making it easy to identify faults or anomalies in the system. The device supports long-duration logging, allowing analysis of intermittent issues that occur during extended operation. Its compact, plug-and-play design ensures quick installation without disrupting normal system operations. Ideal for both R&D labs and field diagnostics, it provides a reliable and cost-effective solution for optimizing HVAC performance.
