optoLIN

optoLIN

The optoLIN system can be used for the optical transmission of LIN signals with transmission rates of up to 20 kbit/s. It consists of two identical battery supplied transceivers connected to each other with an ptical fiber. With the optical transmission and the shielded case, the system is well equipped for EMI and EME tests with automotive standards such as CISPR 25 class 5.

If requested, one of the LIN transceivers can be integrated into a 19" rack. If the equipment is always used at the same location, this reduces errors, setup time, and space on the tables of the control room. Up to 13 different or same automotive link channels can be integrated into a 3HE case powered by one power supply (additional channels can be purchased and integrated later on).
