Switch - Active High • Switch - Active Low • Rotary Switch • Analog Sensor • Head to Wiring section to see wiring diagrams for each type of analog input.

  • Page 20: Number

    Number Number is simply an integer. It can be either a typed in constant or value of chosen channel. Number is mostly used for comparison or to control Duty Cycle in Pulse Width Modulation (See section). Function Function is one of the most important elements. It can be used to create a set of rules, conditions to Power on an output device.

  • Page 21: Functions

    FUNCTIONS Main Principle The idea behind functions is to create a set of rules by combining different operations for various channels or elements. This set of rules is evaluated to a logical true (1) or false (0) result. Function then can be used to turn, for example, Power Output on or off. Quick example could be turning the secondary fuel pump on if a fault is detected on the primary one.
  • Page 22 Operations with state Toggle Toggles between 0 and 1 whenever Channel triggers a signal edge. It can be set to trigger by Rising Edge or Falling Edge If Default State is checked, default state of the Function after device is turned on will be 1, otherwise 0. Toggle remembers its last state, therefore if Channel signal is lost, Toggle will remain in the last steady state.

  • Page 23: Function Examples

    Function examples We want the secondary fuel pump to turn on if a fault is detected on the first one or when fuel pressure drops below or is equal to 400kPa. To do this, we need to create a new function, let's call it f_switchPumps .

  • Page 25: Channel Logging

    Another diagram example of Fan Output: Fan Output function diagram example CHANNEL LOGGING Graph Log PMU Client is equipped with a tool to show channels graph in real time. There are two ways to add a channel to the graph. First way is to right click on the graph log window, then select Add and type the channels name.

  • Page 26: Logging Frequency

    Logging Frequency You can change the logging frequency of a channel by right clicking the channel on graph log, then selecting Set Log Frequency and choosing the desired frequency. Another way is to use Logged Channels window (Tree View → Logged Channels) . In that window you can see how parameters are groupped and their logging frequency.

  • Page 28: Output Pins

    Output Pins There are 16 output pins for you to use, 10 25A pins and 6 15A pins. They can be also used in parallel to increase current capacity (See Using output pins in parallel section) All Pins are equipped with over and under current protection, short circuit protection, as well as thermal protection.

  • Page 29: Output Load Balancing

    Tree View → PMU window If you are experiencing high temperatures, it is advised to move the PMU to a colder place or provide better airflow to current location. Output Load Balancing Another way to handle high temperatures is to connect the devices that draw the most current in a way that the transistors for their Output Pins are not grouped up together.

  • Page 30: Output Pin Signaling And Status

    Output Pin signaling and status PMU has an ability to signal condition of each Power Output. It is displayed on the device itself and in PMU software. When a new Power Output is created, a special variable which represents the status of Power Output, called output_name.status is created as well.

  • Page 48: Using Flyback Diode

    Duty Cycle can be either set to constant value, or controlled by a Channel. PMU Client Configuration Example: PWM Configuration example Using flyback diode PWM does introduce a bit of heat depending on the Device powered, and PWM settings. If you are experiencing Overheated status on any Pulse Width Modulated Power Output, a flyback diode can be used to eliminate flyback therefore lowering the output transistors thermal load.
