The Local Interconnect Network (LIN) is a simple, low-cost bus system used within
automotive network architectures. LIN is usually a subnetwork of a CAN bus. The pri-
mary purpose of LIN is the integration of uncritical sensors and actuators with low-
bandwidth requirements. Common applications in a motor vehicle are the control of
doors, windows, wing mirrors, and wipers.
