ISO 17987-4:2016(E)

Introduction
ISO 17987 (all parts) specifies the use cases, the communication protocol and physical layer
requirements of an in-vehicle communication network called Local Interconnect Network (LIN).
The LIN protocol as proposed is an automotive focused low speed universal asynchronous receiver
transmitter (UART) based network. Some of the key characteristics of the LIN protocol are signal-
based communication, schedule table based frame transfer, master/slave communication with error
detection, node configuration and diagnostic service transportation.
The LIN protocol is for low-cost automotive control applications, for example, door module and air
condition systems. It serves as a communication infrastructure for low-speed control applications in
vehicles by providing:
— signal-based communication to exchange information between applications in different nodes;
— bit rate support from 1 kbit/s to 20 kbit/s;
— deterministic schedule table-based frame communication;
— network management that wakes up and puts the LIN cluster into sleep state in a controlled manner;
— status management that provides error handling and error signalling;
— transport layer that allows large amount of data to be transported (such as diagnostic services);
— specification of how to handle diagnostic services;
— electrical physical layer specifications;
— node description language describing properties of slave nodes;
— network description file describing behaviour of communication;
— application programmer’s interface.
ISO 17987 (all parts) is based on the open systems interconnection (OSI) Basic Reference Model as
specified in ISO/IEC 7498-1 which structures communication systems into seven layers.
The OSI model structures data communication into seven layers called (top down) application layer
(layer 7), presentation layer, session layer, transport layer, network layer, data link layer and physical layer
(layer 1). A subset of these layers is used in ISO 17987 (all parts).
ISO 17987 (all parts) distinguishes between the services provided by a layer to the layer above it and
the protocol used by the layer to send a message between the peer entities of that layer. The reason for
this distinction is to make the services, especially the application layer services and the transport layer
services, reusable also for other types of networks than LIN. In this way, the protocol is hidden from the
service user and it is possible to change the protocol if special system requirements demand it.
ISO 17987 (all parts) provides all documents and references required to support the implementation of
the requirements related to the following.
— ISO 17987-1: This part provides an overview of the ISO 17987 (all parts) and structure along with
the use case definitions and a common set of resources (definitions, references) for use by all
subsequent parts.
— ISO 17987-2: This part specifies the requirements related to the transport protocol and the network
layer requirements to transport the PDU of a message between LIN nodes.
— ISO 17987-3: This part specifies the requirements for implementations of the LIN protocol on the
logical level of abstraction. Hardware-related properties are hidden in the defined constraints.

identification service.

according to ISO 17987-2 and ISO 17987-3. This comprises tests for the data link layer, the network
layer and the transport layer.

4 Conventions
ISO 17987 (all parts) and ISO 14229-7 are based on the conventions specified in the OSI Service
Conventions (see ISO/IEC 10731) as they apply for physical layer, protocol, network and transport
protocol and diagnostic services.
5 Electrical physical layer requirements
5.1 Bit rate deviation
The bit rate deviation of the LIN medium describes the bit rate deviation from a referenced bit rate. It is
the sum of the following parameters:
— inaccuracy of setting the bit rate (systematic failure due to granularity of the configurable bit rate);
— clock deviation over temperature and supply voltage range;
— clock source stability of the slave node starting from the end of the sync byte field up to the end of
the entire LIN frame (last sampled bit) when performing synchronization;
— bit time measurement failure of the slave node;
— clock source stability of the master node starting from the end of the sync byte field up to the end of
the entire LIN frame (last transmitted bit).
On-chip clock may achieve a frequency deviation of better than ±14 % with internal calibration. This
bit rate deviation better than ±14 % is sufficient to detect a break field in the message stream. The
subsequent bit rate adaptation using the sync byte field ensures the proper reception and transmission
of the message. The on-chip oscillator shall allow for accurate bite rate measurement and generation for
the remainder of the message frame, taking into account effects of anything, which affects the bit rate,
such as temperature and voltage drift during operation.
The bit rates on the LIN bus are specified in the range of 1 kbit/s to 20 kbit/s. The specific bit rate used
on a LIN bus is defined as the nominal bit rate, F .
Nom
In case a non-LIN electrical physical layer (e.g. ISO 11898-1, ISO 11898-2) is used, the bit rate may have
to be adjusted.

Foreword
ISO (the International Organization for Standardization) is a worldwide federation of national standards bodies
(ISO member bodies). The work of preparing International Standards is normally carried out through ISO
technical committees. Each member body interested in a subject for which a technical committee has been
established has the right to be represented on that committee. International organizations, governmental and
non-governmental, in liaison with ISO, also take part in the work. ISO collaborates closely with the
International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) on all matters of electrotechnical standardization.
International Standards are drafted in accordance with the rules given in the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 2.
The main task of technical committees is to prepare International Standards. Draft International Standards
adopted by the technical committees are circulated to the member bodies for voting. Publication as an
International Standard requires approval by at least 75 % of the member bodies casting a vote.
Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this document may be the subject of patent
rights. ISO shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights.

Introduction
This document set specifies the use cases, the communication protocol and physical layer requirements of an
in-vehicle communication network called "Local Interconnect Network (LIN)".
The LIN protocol as proposed is an automotive focused low speed UART-based network (Universal
Asynchronous Receiver Transmitter). Some of the key characteristics of the LIN protocol are signal based
communication, schedule table based frame transfer, master/slave communication with error detection, node
configuration and diagnostic service transportation.
The LIN protocol is for low cost automotive control applications, for example door module and air condition
systems. It serves as a communication infrastructure for low-speed control applications in vehicles by
providing:
 Signal based communication to exchange information between applications in different nodes;
 Bitrate support from 1 kbit/s to 20 kbit/s;
 Deterministic schedule table based frame communication;
 Network management that wakes up and puts the LIN cluster into sleep state in a controlled manner;
 Status management that provides error handling and error signalling;
 Transport layer that allows large amount of data to be transported (such as diagnostic services);
 Specification of how to handle diagnostic services;
 Electrical physical layer specifications;
 Node description language describing properties of slave nodes;
 Network description file describing behaviour of communication;
 Application programmer's interface;
ISO 17987 is based on the Open Systems Interconnection (OSI) Basic Reference Model as specified in
ISO/IEC 7498-1 which structures communication systems into seven layers.
The OSI model structures data communication into seven layers called (top down) application layer (layer 7),
presentation layer, session layer, transport layer, network layer, data link layer and physical layer (layer 1). A
subset of these layers is used in ISO 17987.
ISO 17987 distinguishes between the services provided by a layer to the layer above it and the protocol used
by the layer to send a message between the peer entities of that layer. The reason for this distinction is to
make the services, especially the application layer services and the transport layer services, reusable also for
other types of networks than LIN. In this way the protocol is hidden from the service user and it is possible to
change the protocol if special system requirements demand it.

41 4 Conventions
42 ISO 17987 and ISO 14229-7 [8] are based on the conventions specified in the OSI Service Conventions
43 (ISO/IEC 10731) [2] as they apply for physical layer, protocol, network & transport protocol and diagnostic
44 services.
45 5 Electrical physical layer requirements
46 5.1 Bit rate deviation
47 The bit rate deviation of the LIN medium describes the bit rate deviation from a referenced bit rate. It is the
48 sum of the following parameters:
49  Inaccuracy of setting the bit rate (systematic failure due to granularity of the configurable bit rate)
50  Clock deviation over temperature and supply voltage range
51  Clock source stability of the slave node starting from the end of the sync byte field up to the end of the
52 entire LIN frame (last sampled bit) when performing synchronization.
53  Bit time measurement failure of the slave node
54  Clock source stability of the master node starting from the end of the sync byte field up to the end of the
55 entire LIN frame (last transmitted bit)
56 On-chip clock may achieve a frequency deviation of better than ± 14 % with internal calibration. This bit rate
57 deviation better than ± 14 % is sufficient to detect a break field in the message stream. The subsequent bit
58 rate adaptation using the sync byte field ensures the proper reception and transmission of the message. The
59 on-chip oscillator shall allow for accurate bite rate measurement and generation for the remainder of the
60 message frame, taking into account effects of anything, which affects the bit rate, such as temperature and
61 voltage drift during operation.
62 The bit rates on the LIN bus are specified in the range of 1 to 20 kbit/s. The specific bit rate used on a LIN bus
63 is defined as the nominal bit rate F .
Nom
64 In case a non-LIN electrical physical layer (e.g. ISO 11898-1, ISO 11898-2) is used, the bit rate may have to
65 be adjusted.
