The equipment set A2.6.1.16 "Digitalization: Networked Automotive Systems – LIN-Bus Multifunction Steering Wheel" provides the hardware basis for a collection of experiments that allow the topic to be examined in a practice-oriented way. The experiments presented are aligned with the content of the currently valid curriculum frameworks and can furthermore be extended as desired.
In addition to fundamental experiments, a particular focus is placed on fault-finding. Common faults can be specifically activated by the instructor and must be identified by the learner using a digital multimeter (DMM) and/or a digital oscilloscope (DSO). In line with the current state of the art, a computer-based DSO is used.
The following topics are covered, among others:
- Measurement and interpretation of physical signals
- Interpretation of logical bus data
- Causes of common faults in data bus systems
