Communication adapter acts as LINbus interface
LIN-I/O is a communication adapter designed as an interface between automated production lines and a LINbus product available from Saelig. Designed for fixed installation on a DINrail or in a control cabinet, LIN I/O communicates remotely with a controller either via high-speed CAN and/or 24V digital I/O. Using the LIN I/O, a test device can be communicated via the LIN I/O communications in a safe, short-circuit protected manner.
A feature of the LIN I/O is that the current drain of the test object is measured and can be used for evaluation and test purposes.
The LIN I/O's internal signal processing can pre-process the LIN data, for example for checking limit values or operation, or for the end-of-line calibration of manufactured devices.
The control and automation software can thus be freed up, and the LIN interface can independently carry out simple sequences and deliver - for example - "good/bad" evaluations to the manufacturing line. The LIN I/O module is compatible with the other members of IHR's family of automotive bus tools.
