Abstract

The present disclosure relates to a method of monitoring Local Interconnect Network (LIN) nodes and a monitoring device performing the method. In an aspect a method of a monitoring device of monitoring a plurality of LIN buses is provided, wherein at least one LIN node is connected to each LIN bus, said plurality of LIN buses being interconnected via the monitoring device. The method comprises detecting, for each LIN bus, any dominant data being sent over said each LIN bus by a LIN node connected to said each LIN bus and routing said any dominant data received by the monitoring device over said each LIN bus to all remaining LIN buses without overwriting any dominant data sent over the remaining LIN buses.
