LIN Protocols
This section documents the LIN (Local Interconnect Network) protocol specifications for various devices commonly found in motorhomes and RVs.
LIN Protocol Overview
LIN (Local Interconnect Network) is a serial network protocol used for communication between electronic components in vehicles and other applications. It provides a cost-effective solution for connecting devices that don’t require the full complexity of CAN bus.
Technical Specifications
- Baud Rate: 19,200 bps (standard for most automotive applications)
- Bus Architecture: Single-wire plus ground
- Topology: Master-slave with up to 16 slave nodes
- Frame Format: Header (master) + Response (slave)
- Data Length: 2, 4, or 8 bytes per frame
