Motec PDM32 Power Distribution Module

MoTeC's 32 output Power Distribution Module is designed to provide electronically switched power to the various electrical systems in the vehicle such as motors, lights, solenoids, and electronic devices such as ECUs and data acquisition systems. The module replaces conventional relays, fuses and circuit breakers to simplify wiring and switch requirements, while increasing reliability.

Features:

• Each output is over-current, short circuit and thermal overload protected
• Outputs programmable in 1 A steps and controllable via a combination of switch inputs, CAN messages and logic functions
• Performs up to 200 logic operations and functions that can be used to selectively turn off systems
• Provides full diagnostic information via CAN

PDM Manager software is used for:

• Configuring all inputs, outputs, CAN messages and conditions
• Monitoring all channel values
• Output testing
• Firmware updating

Inputs:

• 23 x switch inputs: range 0 to 51 V, resolution 0.2 V

Outputs

• 8 x 20 A outputs: 20 A continuous, 115 A transient (typical)
• 24 x 8 A outputs: 8 A continuous, 60 A transient (typical)

Communications:

• 1 x CAN

Operating Voltage:

• 30 V max

Ingress Protection (IP) Rating:

• Rubber seal on lid and connectors, conformal coating on PCB
• The device is rated to IP67
• *IP rating is dependent upon the user ensuring that the connector entries are waterproof, which, as a minimum, requires all unused wire cavities on the connector to be plugged.

Physical:

• 1 x 37, 1 x 26, 1 x 8 and 1 x 1 pin Autosport connectors
• Case size 180 x 60 x 28 mm
• Weight 420 grams
