Applications

LIN gateway for remote vehicle diagnostics

Our LIN gateway serves as a wireless gateway providing cellular connectivity to any LIN 2.0 based system. User can configure the bit rate and cloud upload interval via USB or Over-The-Air using the custom tool names PreciCon. Connecting to the LIN bus will be very simple 4-wire connection. Once connected, the LIN gateway can acquire and periodically upload the LIN data to cloud.

In addition, the device also records the data in inbuilt memory in .csv or .MF4 format when cellular connectivity is lost. This feature enables reliable and secure cloud communication which is ideal for remote vehicle diagnostics. PreciCloud dashboard can be used for remote monitoring in subscription model or the device can upload the data to any third-party server owned by the user.

FAQs

A LIN gateway acts as a bridge, allowing different systems or networks to communicate with a Local Interconnect Network (LIN) bus, typically by converting LIN data to another protocol like CAN or to a wireless standard for cloud connectivity.
