MoTeC’s new PDM16 and PDM32 Power Distribution Modules replace conventional relays, fuses and circuit breakers by providing electronically switched power to the various electrical systems in the vehicle, including motors, lights, solenoids and electronic devices such as ECUs and data systems. This simplifies wiring and switch requirements, while increasing reliability.
The PDM16 has 16 outputs and the PDM32 has 32 outputs. Each output is over-current protected and can be controlled via a combination of switch inputs, CAN messages and logic functions. In addition to performing simple functions such as flashing indicator lights, the logic functions can be used to selectively turn off systems during low battery voltage or engine starting, to reduce drain on the battery. MoTeC PDMs also provide full diagnostic information, including output currents and error status that can be monitored on a PC or transmitted via CAN to a display or logging device.
