Description
Cartek 8-Channel Power Distribution Module with CAN-Bus
The Cartek PDM-8C includes:
- 1x Cartek 8-Channel PDM
- 2x 12-Way Amphenol Connectors
- 2x Wedgelocks
- 24x Sockets.
The PDM-8C is a configurable Power Distribution Module featuring 8 outputs with CAN-Bus connectivity. Individual outputs can be controlled through CAN and live diagnostic data can be streamed. These outputs include:
- 2x high current outputs with a maximum current limit of 40 Amps each (recommended 30 Amp continuous).
- 4x outputs with a maximum current limit of 20 Amps each (recommended 15 Amp continuous).
- 2x outputs (optimised for wiper motors) with a maximum current limit of 15 Amps each (recommended 10 Amp continuous).
Outputs can handle nominal inrush spikes without causing the output to trip. For high inrush loads, there is also the option of soft-start.
The PDM-8C has been designed with a choice of pre-set functions which allows timed output controls for use by fuel pumps, radiator fans and heated screens. Other features include the choice of dedicated logic functions to control headlights (tail lights/low beam/high beam/spot light).
The tail light output will automatically turn on if either low beam or high beam outputs are activated. Spot light logic where the output will only turn on if high beam has been activated. A headlight flasher input can also be configured giving you the choice of which lights to flash as well as flash frequencies.
It has also been designed with 2-speed wiper motor control in mind. Low speed and high speed functions can be chosen as well as a wash pump function which will automatically activate the high speed output if used. The wiper park input can be configured to react with a falling edge (Active low – most common) or rising edge (Active high) signal.
Outputs can be activated by the configurable input pins, or by receiving CAN messages. The PDM-8C also features 3 auxiliary inputs which can be configured with a range of modes such as ignition input, wiper park input and headlight flash input.
