    ECUs and data systems. This simplifies wiring and switch requirements, while increasing reliability. There are four PDM versions: PDM16, PDM32, PDM15 and PDM30. Throughout this manual all versions will be referred to as the PDM except where details specific to a particular version are discussed.

    MoTeC Installation Installation Mounting When mounting the PDM take into account that the PDM may get very hot during operation. Ensure the PDM is mounted in a well ventilated area and not against a hot surface. For case dimensions see Mounting Dimensions. The internal temperature is highly dependent on ambient temperature and also on the total load current—a higher current will cause a higher temperature.

    16 mm (6#) or 25 mm (4#). The PDM16 and PDM32 use an Autosport connector, PDM15 and PDM30 use a 6 mm eyelet to suit the wire size. The wire gauge should be chosen according to the wire temperature limit and acceptable voltage drop.

  • Page 10: Battery Negative

    MoTeC Installation If the ECU does not have a shutdown input, the switch can be connected to a PDM input. The PDM can then turn off power to the ignition system or the ECU, which will cause the engine to stop. Battery Negative Both of the Batt–...

  • Page 11: Output Wiring

    Installation Output Wiring All outputs are high side type outputs; they switch Batt+ to the output pin. They all have hardware thermal overload protection, fault logic and over- current logic. Paralleled Outputs Two or more output pins can be connected in parallel to increase current capacity.
  • Page 12 MoTeC Installation The wiper unit can be wired using an OEM wiper controller with the PDM supplying the power only. The OEM controller performs the intermittent and motor braking functions. 2. Two Switch Method The wiper unit can be wired in a simple two switch arrangement; one switch for power and the other to select fast or slow.
  • Page 13 Installation Slow operation can be achieved using the switch or using intermittent operation to give a similar effect which avoids the need for a high current switch. The fast/slow switch and on/off relay must handle the wiper motor current (typically 4 ampere). The control switches can be low current types since they only connect to PDM inputs.
  • Page 14 MoTeC Installation braking the motor when the high speed winding is turned on. The linked high speed wiper output can be configured in the Output 9 settings. Output 9 performs motor braking by momentarily shorting the output to ground when the output turns off. The PDM must be configured with the appropriate logic to perform on/off, speed selection, intermittent operation and wiper parking based on the state of the control switches and park switch input.

  • Page 15: Solenoids

    Installation Set the High Time and Low Time to 0.00s in the park switch input pin configuration so that the wiper is parked as soon as possible after reaching the park position. An sample configuration for this method is included with PDM Manager. Note: Version 2 hardware is indicated by the symbol 2 next to the engraved serial number on the PDM case.

  • Page 16: Electronic Devices

    MoTeC Installation Electronic Devices The PDM can supply power to electronic devices such as engine management systems, data acquisition systems, radios etc. Many electronic devices will have a short inrush current. The PDM will largely ignore this due to the Output Load filtering. See the Over-Current Shutdown section for details.

  • Page 17: Pdm Manager Software Installation

    Installation CAN Keypads The CAN Keypads continuously communicate with the PDM which will prevent the PDM from entering its low power standby mode. Options for powering the keypads include: Configuring the PDM to always power the keypads. This allows buttons on the keypads to be used for master startup functions, but the PDM would never enter standby mode.

Download the latest software version from the website and follow the software installation instructions to update to the new version.

  • Page 19: Configuration

    Configuration Configuration The PDM requires various settings to be configured such as the maximum current settings for the outputs and the circumstances in which to turn the outputs on. The configuration settings are stored in a configuration file on the PC. Changes to the PDM configuration are performed ‘Offline’, i.e.

  • Page 20: Channels

    MoTeC Configuration Channels Channels are used to link the various systems within the PDM configuration. For example: The input pin system generates two channels for each configured input pin. Depending on the state of the input pin the input channel value will be zero or one.

  • Page 21: Configuration Tree

    • Configure Keypad settings for CAN keypads PDM Type and Serial Number The PDM type (PDM32, PDM16 etc.) and serial number must be configured correctly before a new configuration file can be sent to a PDM. A configuration can only be sent to the matching PDM to ensure the correct configuration of PDMs in applications with multiple PDMs.

  • Page 22: Input Pins

    MoTeC Configuration Output Pins Master Shutdown The Master Shutdown feature turns off all outputs that are configured for Master Shutdown, while a user configured channel is true. Any PDM channel can be used as the Master Shutdown channel. Each output pin can be individually configured to support or ignore the Master Shutdown channel.

    Configuration Channel Name Description CAN Output InputName Input Status 0 = Off 1 = On InputName.Voltage Voltage on the input Resolution 0.2 V CAN Inputs The PDM can receive CAN messages allowing the outputs to be controlled by other devices. The PDM can be configured to receive CAN messages on up to seven different CAN addresses in the standard or extended address ranges.

  • Page 24: Can Output

    MoTeC Configuration 16 Bit Unsigned Values A 16bit unsigned value is specified with a byte offset (the first byte of the value within the CAN message), an optional byte swap, a 16bit mask, and a divisor (1 to 255). The resulting channel will be an 8 bit value with a range of 0 to 255.

  • Page 25: Functions

    Configuration The PDM CAN bitrate is user configurable. All devices on the CAN bus must be set to the same speed. Refer to the Operation section for details about CAN bitrate configuration. Standard Messages The sets of fixed messages to be sent from the PDM are configured in Standard Messages.

  • Page 31: Can Keypads

    Configuration Motors Electric motors draw additional current during start-up. Typically the start- up current is 3 to 5 times the steady state current and it dies out in less than a second. This start-up current is largely ignored by the PDM due to the Output Load filtering.

  • Page 32: Operation

    MoTeC Operation Operation CAUTION: The PDM may get very hot, do not touch the PDM during operation. To perform any of the activities in the Online menu, the PC needs to communicate with the PDM. When a configuration file is open in PDM Manager, it will connect to the PDM with the matching serial number.

  • Page 34: Password Protection

    MoTeC Operation Password Protection • On the Online menu, click Set Password The password will prevent unauthorised retrieving and sending of configuration files. It is not possible to update firmware if the PDM is password protected. Standby Mode The PDM has a low power standby mode to minimize battery drain when the vehicle is turned off.
