What is ISO 17987-3 - Local Interconnect Network (LIN) about?
ISO 17987 is a series of international standards on local interconnect networks that discusses the protocol specification of LIN. ISO 17987-3 is the third part of a series of documents on local interconnect networks. ISO 17987-3 specifies the LIN protocol including the signal management, frame transfer, schedule table handling, task behavior and status management, and LIN master and slave node. ISO 17987-3 contains also OSI layer 5 properties according to ISO 14229-7 UDSonLIN-based node configuration and identification services (SID: B016 to B816) belonging to the core protocol specification.
A node (normally a master node) that is connected to more than one LIN network is handled by higher layers (i.e. the application), not within the scope of ISO 17987-3.
Who is ISO 17987-3 - Local Interconnect Network (LIN) for?
ISO 17987-3 on Local Interconnect Network is relevant to:
- Automotive industry
Why should you use ISO 17987-3 - Local Interconnect Network (LIN)?
The LIN protocol as proposed is an automotive-focused low-speed UART-based network (Universal Asynchronous Receiver Transmitter). Some of the key characteristics of the LIN protocol are signal-based communication, schedule table-based frame transfer, master/slave communication with error detection, node configuration, and diagnostic service communication.
ISO 17987-3 provides guidance on node concept, protocol requirements, node configuration and identification, the definition of properties, frame identifiers and various examples, LIN history and version compatibility, LIN auto addressing methods.
As a user of ISO 17987-3, you can be ensured of all the properties of the Local Interconnect Network (LIN). The LIN protocol is for low-cost automotive control applications, for example, door module and air condition systems. With ISO 17987-3 you can have communication infrastructure for low-speed control applications in vehicles. ISO 17987-3 specifies the requirements for implementations of the LIN protocol on the logical level of abstraction.
