Saelig Introduces LINbus I/O Module for Automakers

ROCHESTER, N.Y. - Sept. 30, 2015 - PRLog -- Saelig Company, Inc. announces the availability of LIN I/O - a communication adapter designed as an interface between automated production lines and a LINbus product. 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 unique 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.

Performance Characteristics of LIN I/O:

• Emulation and Analysis of LIN nodes / LIN subsystems, simulation of bus devices not present
• Wakeup / Sleep
• Event-based signal configuration and sequence control
• LIN bus error recognition, playback via CAN, LED and port
• Uses Visulin PC software for recording and displaying measurement data, and for configuration
• Simple integration into automated test environments (LabView, HP VEE, and others)

Equipment:

• Status display via LED's
• Ohmic bus termination (master/slave/stress/overload) switchable by means of software
• Galvanically separated digital inputs/outputs
• LED status display for digital ports
• 4 analog inputs
• 2 analog outputs, trigger creation
• 1 current measurement channel for current drain of the test object

Optional Accessories:

• Second CAN interface for vehicle bus
• CAN I/O peripheral extension

Made in Germany by IHR (one of Europe’s major CAN and LIN experts) LIN I/O is available now from their authorized USA distributors Saelig Co. Inc. Fairport, NY.
