Key Features
Overview
The Lipowsky Baby-LIN-3-RCplus represents the pinnacle of compact bus simulation technology, engineered specifically for professional electronic design engineers requiring advanced LIN and CAN bus testing capabilities. This third-generation simulator combines the proven reliability of Lipowsky's Baby-LIN platform with enhanced standalone functionality through its integrated 1.54" IPS colour display and nine configurable membrane keys.
Enhanced Standalone Operation
Unlike traditional bus simulators that require constant PC connectivity, the Baby-LIN-3-RCplus excels in autonomous operation. The device's intelligent interface allows engineers to configure complex test sequences and monitor bus communications directly through its responsive colour display, making it ideal for field testing, production environments, and extended durability assessments where PC access is limited or impractical.
Professional Bus Simulation Capabilities
Supporting comprehensive LIN protocol versions from 1.2 through 2.2, plus CAN High-Speed (ISO 11898-2) with optional CAN-FD expansion, this simulator handles the full spectrum of automotive and industrial bus communications. The device's ARM Cortex-M7 processor operating at 480MHz delivers 60% improved performance over previous generations, ensuring precise timing and reliable frame processing even under demanding test conditions.
Advanced I/O and Storage Features
Two PWM-capable digital I/O pins provide exceptional flexibility for testing discrete elements such as lamps, actuators, and sensors. The integrated microSD card slot supports data logging functions and SDF storage, whilst the real-time clock with backup battery maintains accurate timestamps for comprehensive test documentation. For engineers working with related products, consider the Baby-LIN-3-MB for enhanced PLC integration or the Baby-LIN-3-RC for LIN-only applications.

Frequently Asked Questions
Have a Question?
-
What is the maximum cable length supported for LIN bus connections?
The device supports LIN bus cable lengths up to 30 metres, accommodating both laboratory bench testing and vehicle integration requirements with reliable signal integrity.
-
How does this compare to more expensive Vector CANoe solutions?
Whilst Vector CANoe offers broader protocol support, the Baby-LIN-3-RCplus provides superior standalone capabilities and integrated display interface at significantly lower cost for LIN and CAN applications.
-
Can the device simulate both master and slave nodes simultaneously?
The simulator can emulate any combination of LIN master and slave nodes, enabling comprehensive rest-bus simulation scenarios without requiring additional hardware.
-
What software is included with the Baby-LIN-3-RCplus purchase?
Each device includes a download licence for the comprehensive LINWorks software suite, featuring session configuration, bus monitoring, signal editing, and macro programming capabilities.
-
Is the USB interface isolated from the bus communications?
Yes, all communication interfaces including USB are galvanically isolated from the LIN and CAN bus connections, preventing interference and protecting connected equipment.
-
What power supply options are available for the device?
The simulator operates from 8-28V DC supply, accommodating both bench testing and vehicle integration requirements, with power available via 3-pin connector or SUB-D9 interface.
-
How does the PWM output functionality benefit testing applications?
The two PWM-capable I/O pins enable direct testing of discrete elements like LED brightness control and actuator positioning, with configurable output stages and frequency ranges up to 15kHz.
-
What is the difference between this model and the Baby-LIN-3-MB available from Debug Store?
The Baby-LIN-3-RCplus focuses on standalone operation with integrated display and keypad, whilst the Baby-LIN-3-MB offers enhanced PLC integration capabilities with Ethernet and RS-232 interfaces.
-
Can the display content be customised for specific applications?
Yes, the 1.54" IPS colour display content is fully programmable through SDF configuration, allowing engineers to create custom interfaces tailored to their specific testing requirements.
-
What LIN protocol versions does the Baby-LIN-3-RCplus support?
The device supports all modern LIN protocol versions including 1.2, 1.3, 2.0, 2.1, and 2.2, ensuring comprehensive compatibility with current and legacy automotive systems.
