PDM28

General Features

  • Size: 200x160x54mm
  • Weight: 660g
  • Operating Temperature: -55°C to 90°C (-67°F to 194°F)
  • Construction: Glass Fibre Reinforced Plastic
  • IP Rating: IP67
  • Connectors: Deutsch DT 12-Pin
  • Update Rate: Up to 1000Hz Input and Output

Inputs

  • Type: 16 Analogue inputs, which can also serve as digital inputs
  • Each input can measure voltages between 0-28V, independent of the battery voltage.
  • Measurement Resolution: 10-Bit, or 0.01V
  • Protection: Fully protected for input voltages from -24V to 40V
  • Each input has a software selectable 10K Pull-up or Pull-down resistor
  • Added Features: Current sourcing for ground switch detection. Configure as active high or low. Configurable Hysteresis voltage. Latching or momentary operation.

Outputs

  • Type:
    • 19 high side outputs 80A peak, 20A continuous. 
    • 4 hybrid high/low side outputs 80A peak, 20A continuous.
    • 2 reverse current protected outputs, for use with wiper motors. 80A peak, 20A continuous
  • Combined: 180A combined output maximum current
  • Output Current Control Steps: 100mA (0.1A)
  • Protection: Each output is overcurrent, overtemperature, load dump and reverse polarity protected.
  • PWM: Each output can be Pulse Width Modulated based on a user defined variable. This can limit the speed of radiator fans, fuel pumps, and dim lights.
  • Soft Start: PWM soft start can be enabled on outputs to limit inrush current.
  • Added Features: Outputs can be configured to stay on for a specified time after the input is removed, useful for thermo-fans. Outputs can be retried multiple times after an over-current event is detected.

CAN Keypads:

  • Support for Blink Marine, Grayhill, and Marlin CAN keypads.
  • Up to four keypads can be used at once.

CAN Bus
