LIN (Local Interconnect Network)

LIN (Local Interconnect Network) is a serial network protocol used for communication
between components in vehicles. The bus is a single master/multiple slave bus that
uses a single wire to transmit data.
By using LIN, the amount of cabling required to allow components to communicate
with each other is greatly reduced. This saves cost, weight and space, and makes
the system more reliable, as the physical number of wires and connections is
reduced.
The instruments use some of this data internally and also broadcasts it on the
CANbus (Controller Area Networking) for use on the motorcycle as necessary.
Information (such as headlight main beam) is being requested continuously by the
Instruments, once a confirmation of the request is recognised the instruments will
react accordingly.
