One of the key advantages of the PMU is continuous current sensing and the auto-reset function if the current exceeds a defined level. All information about output states, voltage and current can be logged and transmitted via CAN bus to dashboard displays to inform drivers of potential issues.
A further advantage of the PMU system is the ability to define logic for output control. This is done using data from analogue input channels or CAN bus data, and mathematical operations can be defined for each channel. The PMU also features LED indicators to show the status of each output.
With the use of CAN bus keypads or steering wheel switches, all wiring is significantly simplified and lightened.
Two unique features are the integrated accelerometer and gyroscope for logging, and the inertia switch in the event of an accident.
The PMU is assembled to IPC-S-815A standards to ensure product reliability. The device is designed to operate in the temperature range -40˚C to +125˚C.
