MoTeC PDM 16

Outputs: 16
Inputs: 12
Connector: Autosport

MoTeC’s 16 output Power Distribution Module (PDM16) is designed to provide electronically switched power to the various electrical systems in the vehicle such as motors, lights and solenoids, and electronic devices such as ECUs and data acquisition systems.

The module replaces conventional relays, fuses and circuit breakers, simplifying wiring and reducing weight while increasing reliability.

An IP68 rated PDM16M can be ordered for applications exposed to extreme environmental conditions.

• Switch inputs ranging from 0 to 51 V, resolution 0.2 V
• Performing up to 200 logic operations using operators like Flash, Pulse, Set/Reset, Hysteresis, Toggle, And, Or, Less than, Greater than, Not equal to, Equal to, True, False etc.
• Performing functions such as flashing indicator lights and controlling thermofan and fuel pump
• Using logic functions to selectively turn off systems during low battery voltage or engine starting, reducing drain on the battery
• Providing full diagnostic information, including output currents and voltages, input voltages, and error status
• Transmitting diagnostic information via CAN to a display or data logging device or monitoring directly on a PC

• NEW IP68 rated PDMs:

  An IP68 rated PDM16M is now available for applications exposed to extreme environmental conditions, e.g. continuous immersion in water beyond 1 metre. Physically this model is similar to the regular PDM16, however it is nitrogen filled and has blind mounting points. Note: These units are built to order.
