optoLIN, Fiber-optic, Automotive Link for LIN signals, 20kbit/s

The optoLIN system is a dependable solution for the optical transmission of LIN (Local Interconnect Network) signals, supporting transmission rates of up to 20 kbit/s. This advanced system comprises two identical, battery-powered transceivers connected via optical fiber, ensuring reliable and interference-free communication. Its optical transmission and shielded casing make it an ideal choice for EMI and EME test environments.

Key Features and Benefits

1. Reliable Optical Transmission:

   • Capable of transmitting LIN signals at speeds up to 20 kbit/s.
   • Ensures minimal interference and robust signal integrity, even in high-EMI environments.

2. Compact and Durable Design:

   • The system’s transceivers are housed in a rugged shielded case for optimal protection.
   • Portable, battery-powered design makes it suitable for various testing setups.

3. Optional 19" Rack Integration:

   • One side of the system can be integrated into a 19" rack housing for permanent setups.
   • This setup reduces error sources, minimizes setup time, and saves valuable workspace.
   • The rack housing can accommodate up to eight communication links, including SENT, CAN, FlexRay, and more. Channels can be added later as needed.

4. Integrated LVDS Option:

   • Available with an optional unidirectional LVDS (Low-Voltage Differential Signaling) transmission for additional testing capabilities.

Scalable and Flexible Configurations
Whether you require a tabletop solution or a streamlined rack-mounted setup, the optoLIN system adapts to your specific needs. Its modular design and scalability allow for future expansion, ensuring long-term value in testing environments.

Applications
The optoLIN system is ideal for automotive and industrial applications requiring precise and interference-free LIN signal testing, particularly in EMI and EME testing scenarios.

With its versatile configuration options, robust design, and reliable performance, the optoLIN system is an essential tool for any testing environment where signal integrity and flexibility are critical.
