Generator operation
In generator mode, the power output of the combustion engine
is higher than that needed for moving the vehicle. The remaining
power is fed to the generator, where it is converted into electrical
energy and stored.

Regenerative braking
In this mode, the vehicle is braked entirely or partly without the
service brake’s frictional torque, which is replaced by the braking
moment generated by the electric motor. In this process, the
vehicle’s kinetic energy is converted into electrical energy and
stored.

Data Buses
A modern automobile’s on-board networks are similar in magnitude to a medium-sized enterprise’s IT network, where 70 to 90
control units are linked via different data buses for the extensive exchange of information. More than two-thirds of all automotive in-
novations are now software-based. LN training systems cover all the educational requirements pertaining to all common bus systems.

Networks
An automobile can be divided into various data communication
zones, each one being assigned particular duties which place
corresponding demands on the network. For this reason, the
automobile is organized into a number of sub-networks. The
various possibilities of doing this are described in our courses on
bus systems.
Training systems
Our training systems cover the following topics:
• CAN bus
• LIN bus
• MOST bus

CAN Bus
Modern motor vehicles incorporate numerous electronic control units which communicate with each other continually via digital bus
systems. Widely used for this purpose in passenger cars as well as commercial vehicles are CAN buses, especially when it comes to
comfort, engine management and diagnostic applications.
Training contents
• Reasons for using bus systems in motor vehicles
• Analyzing CAN messages with a
• Topology and components of a CAN bus system in CAN monitor and oscilloscope
a motor vehicle
• Editing and sending CAN messages via PC
• Differences between low-speed and high-speed CAN
• Trouble shooting

LIN Bus
In addition to the CAN bus, the somewhat simpler LIN bus is also used. This bus is employed mainly for comfort systems which are
not crucial to safety.
Training contents
• Development of bus systems in motor vehicles • Measurement tests of data fields
• Topology and components of a LIN bus system • Message frame structure
• Electrical properties of a LIN bus • Analysis of LIN messages
• Addressing of a LIN bus • Editing and sending LIN messages
• Master / slave principle • Trouble shooting
Optical Waveguides
At present, optical bus systems are used mainly to achieve high data transmission rates in luxury automobiles. However, optical buses
are likely to find broader use in view of the increase in data volumes that generally require processing in automobiles.
Training contents
• Data networks in motor vehicles • Optical bus systems in motor vehicles
• Reasons for using optical waveguides in automotive • Fundamentals of ray optics (refraction, reflection)
applications • Attenuation by optical waveguides

“
Bernd Klein, instructor at the Nikolaus-August-Otto vocational school, regularly uses Lucas-Nülle’s automotive training
systems in his lessons.
Having worked with Lucas-Nülle for many years now, we are satisfied with their self-learning concepts. Our trainees are especially keen
„
to use software-based training systems.
I particularly like the new Connect® program which can be used to clearly explain engine management systems.
Also very popular with instructors here are the robust lighting and signalling units.
In general, Lucas-Nülle’s training systems make instruction at vocational schools much more practical and hands-on.
