Description
This Life Racing PDUX2 power management unit uses logical or numerical inputs from its 12 analogue inputs or from any of 3 CAN buses. The PDUX2 is calibrated using a clear graphical interface with full logic simulation ability and live monitoring.
The PDUX2 is able to operate in a low power standby state, drawing <2mA, with configurable activation based on physical or CAN input. Additionally, the PDUX2 may be paired with a Life Racing ECU to expand input and output functionality through the ‘slave-link’ feature.
Life Racing PDUX2 Power Distributor Unit Specification:
Features
- Schematic based calibration including logic simulation tool
- Numerical arithmetic including handling of analogue inputs
- Fully custom CAN across 3 buses including mux frames and retransmission (gateway), configured with the help of a graphical display and import/export tool
- Low power state woken on physical input, CAN activity, or specific CAN frame
- Optional I/O slaving to an LR ECU
Outputs
- 16 main Power Outputs
- 4 multifunction high side, low side, high side PWM (fixed 20kHz) outputs (40A continuous, soft-start inrush limiting 35A)
- 2 high side outputs (35A continuous, hard-start inrush 60A)
- 10 high side outputs (12A continuous, hard-start inrush 17.5A)
- Output linking (‘teaming’) to support very high current devices
- 2 additional low side outputs (125Hz PWM)
- All outputs short circuit and thermally protected with multi-stage in-rush control
- All outputs additionally protected by physical fuses as required by worldwide regulations
- Combined diagnostic output with reset input
- 128 scaleable CAN (‘soft’) outputs
- Custom datastream (CAN) – i.e. customisable channel current, channel state and device information
Inputs
- 12 physical switch / analogue sensor inputs including software selectable 3k ohm pull-up resistors and 4x inputs capable of programmable “wake up” functionality
- Analogue inputs may be transformed into engineering units for use in schematic
- Dedicated wake pin
- 128 CAN ‘soft’ inputs with configurable scaling, validation and debounce time
Interfaces
