Summary:

Some communication buses are too powerful and expensive for simple digital on/off operations such as activating lights, wipers, windows, et cetera For these applications the LIN bus is currently the most promising communication protocol across the world's automotive industry.This paper addresses a study using LIN (Local Interconnect Network) for Ford South America vehicles. This will propose a new electrical architecture designed with LIN network, which will be replacing the conventional rear and front lights cables in Trucks, where other higher protocols, such as CAN, are not cost effective.LIN is a new low cost serial communication system intended to be used for distributed electronic system that will allow gaining further quality enhancement and cost reduction on cables, connectors and switches
