Implementation of Lin Protocol For Automotive Applications Using Pic

This paper describes implementing the LIN protocol for automotive applications using PIC microcontrollers. LIN is a communication protocol designed for controlling simple electrical components in vehicles like switches, sensors, and actuators. The paper investigates using LIN for the power window system of a Maruti Suzuki ZEN car. Implementing LIN provides benefits like low cost, reduced wiring harness costs, and improved reliability of vehicle functions. The system includes PIC microcontrollers, sensors, an LCD, and other hardware connected via opto-couplers. C18 compiler and Mplab software are used.

IMPLEMENTATION OF LIN PROTOCOL FOR

AUTOMOTIVE APPLICATIONS USING PIC


Abstract:

An embedded system is a special-purpose computer system designed


to perform a dedicated function. Unlike a general-purpose computer, such as
a personal computer, an embedded system performs one or a few pre-
defined tasks, usually with very specific requirements. Since the system is
dedicated to specific tasks, design engineers can optimize it, reducing the
size and cost of the product. Embedded system comprises of both hardware
and software. Embedded system is fast growing technology in various fields
like industrial automation, home appliances, automobiles, aeronautics etc.
Embedded technology uses PC or a controller to do the specified task and
the programming is done using assembly language programming or
embedded C.
In the last few years few protocols have come up designed with focus
on cost efficiency and aimed for use as simple multiplexed electrical
systems. One of these protocols is LIN (Local Interconnect Network) and is
likely to become a de-facto standard in the automotive industry. LIN is
considered by many automotive companies to be the most prominent
contender for simpler multiplexed electrical networks.
PROJECT DESCRIPTION:
This paper” Implementation of LIN Protocol for Automotive
Applications Using PIC” describes and investigates the possibilities and
the advantages of using LIN as a multiplexed electrical system in a vehicle.
LIN is a communication protocol designed for controlling simpler electrical
components in a vehicle, like for example switches, sensors and actuators.
Investigations have been done concerning the technique behind LIN as well
as the recourses needed in order to implement LIN communication between
components on the power window of a Maruti Suzuki’s ZEN car. Clearly the
benefits of using LIN are low cost to feature ratio and at the same time
reducing harness costs and enabling higher reliability of the vehicle
functions.
