Hardwire Electronics – PDM 28
A PDM (Power Distribution Module) is a device used to replace conventional relays and fuses in a vehicle electrical system. The Hardwire Electronics PDM takes inputs from physical switches, analogue voltages, or the CAN bus, and provides power to different electronic devices such as radiator fans, fuel pumps and head lights. The current being drawn from each connected device is continuously monitored. If the measured current is too high due to a fault, the PDM switches off the respective output to prevent further damage to the wiring loom or the connected device. The PDM can then retry the output to see if the fault has cleared.

Technical Specification
General Size 318x124x58 mm Weight 1640g Operating Temperature -55 – 90C [ -67 – 194 °F ] Construction Machined Aluminium Enclosure, Media Blasted and Anodised Black IP Rating IP67 Water and Dust Ingress Protection Connectors 2x 12-Pin DTM, 2x 12-Pin DT, 1x 4-Pin DTP Indicator LEDs 50x RGB LEDs Inputs Type 16 analogue inputs which can also serve as digital inputs. Measurement Range Each input can measure voltages between 0-28V, independent of the battery voltage. Measurement resolution 16-bit or 0.001V Frequency Measurement Automatic frequency measurement up to 300Hz Protection Fully protected for input voltages between -24V to 40V. Pull Up/Down Resistors Each input has a software selectable 10K Pull-up or Pull-down resistor Added Features Configure as active high or low. Configurable Hysteresis voltage. Latching or momentary operation. Outputs Type 4 high/low side outputs 100A peak, 30A continuous (Pin-limited to 25A @125degC), with reverse current protection. 6 high/low side outputs 80A peak, 20A continuous (Pin-limited to 13A @125degC), with reverse current protection.
18 high/low side outputs 80A peak, 20A continuous (Pin-limited to 13A @125degC)
Combined 200A combined output maximum current Output current control steps 100mA Protection Each output is overcurrent, overtemperature, load dump and reverse polarity protected. Soft Start PWM soft start can be enabled on outputs to limit inrush current. 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. 1000Hz maximum PWM frequency
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.
