2.3 LIN Cluster
A LIN cluster is defined as a number of LIN nodes connected through a physical cable. LIN clusters consist of 1 master and up to 16 slave nodes.The LIN bus connects a single master device (ECU/node) and one or more slave devices (ECU/nodes) together in a LIN cluster. All Signals in a LIN Cluster are defined in the LIN Description File(LDF).
