The PDM15 V2 is the newest PDM (Power Distribution Module) from Hardwire Electronics, a natural update to the outgoing PDM15 V1. With new features such as High/Low side outputs, 9 Axis IMU, improved CAN bus and more.  
 
A PDM is a device used to replace conventional relays and fuses in a vehicle electrical system. The Hardwire Electronics PDM15 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.

Outputs
 
Type
4 high/low side outputs 80A peak, 20A continuous (Pin-limited to 13A @125degC), with reverse current protection.
11 high side outputs 80A peak, 20A continuous (Pin-limited to 13A @125degC)
Combined
120A combined output maximum current

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.
