CAN & J1939/NMEA2000/CANopen Training

Overview This learning opportunity is an all-encompassing CAN bus technical training course with a detailed look at CAN physical, data-link and applications layers. CAN will be extensively covered along with an introduction to the Higher Layer Protocols J1939, NMEA2000 and CANopen. At the end of the day, the attendee will have a basic understanding of these technologies.

We can tailor the session for parties of 4 or more if there is an area of particular interest. A typical session is outlined in the example below:

• Introduction to In-Vehicle Networking
• CAN Physical Layer
• CAN Data-Link Layer
• CAN Application Layer
• J1939
• NMEA2000
• CANopen
• CAN Future (CAN FD, CAN XL and CAN Cybersecurity)

A cold buffet lunch is provided, please inform us of any dietary requirements. (This is not included when the course is online) £499.00 ex vat

LIN Protocol Training

LIN Protocol Introduction

LIN is a low-cost network often used to complement a CAN network for body and chassis electronics where the bandwidth and flexibility of CAN is not required.

You will learn the LIN protocol, configuration language and the API. The differences between the various versions of LIN are also discussed.  A demonstration illustrating how LIN frames are constructed and their architecture is given.

Objective: To give students an in-depth knowledge of LIN and its different implementations.

Who should attend: Engineers and technical personnel. Knowledge of in-vehicle networking is helpful, but not necessary.

Course Outline: (1 day)

Introduction: General LIN Overview

Where LIN is used

LIN Protocol – 1.2, 1.3, 2.0 (and SAE J2602), 2.1, 2.2 – differences between versions

LDF – LIN Description Files – How to understand

Schedule Tables

Analysis of the LIN bus

Diagnostics and Configuration – including differences between

LIN implementation

Agenda:

Welcome, safety, in-vehicle networking intro and motivations for LIN

Time Triggered Network Theory – The Method Used by LIN

LIN 1.x overview

• Break
• LIN 2.x (inc. J2602, AUTOSAR, ISO) – building on LIN 1.x and this includes up to LIN v2.2a
• Lunch
