*LINbus: (Local Inter
connect Network) : A communication network comprised of
a LIN master and one or mor
e LIN slaves. In this w
all oven, the Logic boar
d acts as
the LIN master while the Mode encoder
, T
emp encoder
, and Relay boar
d ar
e the
LIN slaves. The Logic boar
d sends messages to the other components based on a
pr
ede
fi
ned list of commands.
All the components r
eceive a signal to per
form a speci
fi
c task
, but only the
appr
opriate component will act on the message and r
espond accor
dingly. The
component which acts on the speci
fi
c is based on pr
ogramming in the contr
ol.
Since the LINbus signal is a digital contr
ol signal, special equipment
, such as an
oscilloscope, is r
equir
ed to measur
e it
.
