LIN to RS-232 Gateway
Converters can act as both LIN Master and Slave The LIN to CAN and LIN to RS-232 Gateways can be used to interface a LIN bus to CAN or RS-232 respectively. The converters can act as both LIN Master and Slave. A typical use-case is to control or monitor a LIN bus from a PLC with RS-232 port over the gateway device, or simply to bridge a LIN network to a CAN bus. A PC application “SENT Gateway Analyzer” for configuring the device and for monitoring, logging and simulation of SENT communication is included. The device provides a communication protocol over RS-232/CAN so that the user can easily integrate the device into an existing system, such as test benches, HiL rigs and End-of-Line testers. The protocol provides function to configure the device’s SENT and analogue channels and to transmit and receive SENT Fast and Slow messages. Both LIN-CAN and LIN-RS232 are available in the following firmware options:Universal gatewayThe communication protocol allows to fully control the LIN bus. The user can transmit and receive LIN frames (more details below) Configurable CAN-LIN Gateway (LIN-CAN device only)The user configures the mapping between CAN and LIN (CAN id to LIN id), CAN and LIN channel parameters, LIN scheduler, and stores the configuration into an internal non-volatile memory. The gateway automatically forwards data from given received CAN Id to LIN bus and vice versa.The ECU Configurator PC application can be used to easily configure the device from PC over CAN bus, and save the configuration into the device. A license for ECU Configurator needs to be purchased separately. This is a single-time payment for a company perpetual license. Without firmwareThe firmware is developed according to customer needs or the customer can develop the firmware it by himself.
