LIN (Local Interconnect Network)
LIN (Local Interconnect Network) is a serial network protocol used for communication
between components in vehicles. The bus is a single master/multiple slave bus that uses
a single wire to transmit data.
By using LIN, the amount of cabling required to allow components to communicate with
each other is greatly reduced. This saves cost, weight and space, and makes the system
more reliable, as the physical number of wires and connections is reduced.
The instruments use some of this data internally and also broadcasts it on the CANbus
(Controller Area Networking) for use on the motorcycle as necessary.
Information (such as headlight main beam) is being requested continuously by the
Instruments, once a confirmation of the request is recognised the instruments will react
accordingly.
