Network Designer LIN The Powerful Design Environment for LIN Functions > Create vehicle projects and their hardware topologies with one or more LIN sub-buses > Define LIN architectures with multi-master ECUs > Create slave nodes based on NCF files, and export the slave configuration in NCF files for transfer to development partners > Specify communication relationships of the LIN networks in the LIN-specific Network Explorer > Visualize gateway relationships between networks of different types, e.g. between a CAN bus and one or more LIN sub-buses > Create and interactively edit schedule tables in the graphic-based Overview of Advantages > Design functions customized for the design of LIN systems > Design of complex system architectures as well as individual LIN sub-systems > Definition of LIN hardware topologies with one master node and multiple slave nodes > Interactive and semi-automated creation of the LIN schedule > Support of all LIN standards from 1.0 to 2.1 as well as J2602 > Exchange of LIN data in LDF, NCF and FIBEX formats 2/4 LIN Schedule Editor The development of LIN systems and LIN sub-systems requires a mature design tool. Network Designer LIN offers functions for cre-ating > LIN-specific consistency checks > Integration in the Vector tool chain for LIN the network architecture and data communication for LIN buses. This network design is the base for all further development steps such as system simulation, configuration of ECU-spe-cific Parameterization of LIN Nodes The LIN slave nodes are configured by all parameters specified in the LIN standard such as the product ID, node address and diag-nostic software and ECU or integration tests. Interfaces to CAN and FlexRay systems can be described using this tool together with the other tools of the DaVinci Network Designer product family. settings. It is possible to configure a LIN node as a multi-channel master with connections to multiple LIN buses. LIN Schedule Design The graphic LIN Schedule Designer is used to create schedule tables either interactively by drag & drop or with the help of the integrat-ed Application Areas Network Designer LIN supports the developer of entire network architectures with multiple LIN buses, as well as the devel-oper of single LIN sub-systems. This makes the tool suitable for schedule table generator. In existing schedule tables, additional use at both automotive OEMs and system suppliers. frames can be added, and existing frames can be rearranged.
