Description
The Life Racing PDUX2B (12v) comes equipped with 16 programmable outputs in total, including 4 extremely capable multifunction outputs which can be defined by the user to operate in either discreet high-side or low-side switching, low-side PWM, Half or Full bridge operation. These flexible outputs, as well as the PDU’s 12 input channels and additional 2 low-side PWMs, can be used to expand and enhance the I/O configuration of any Life Racing ECU. A feature and build-time-choice option are available for an internal IMU and two-wire wheel speed interface respectively.
Life Racing PDUX2B (12v) Specification:
Features
- Schematic based calibration including logic simulation tool.
- Custom CAN across 3 buses including mux frames and retransmission (gateway) features, configured with a graphical display and import/export tool.
- Low power state woken on physical input, CAN activity, or specific CAN frame.
- Configurable evaluation frequency operation of schematic components in circuitry – “Expert Frequency Mode”
- Optional internal IMU (Inertial Measurement Unit) feature offers a six-axis gyro and accelerometer which can be processed internally or transmitted over CAN.
Outputs
- 16 Main Power Outputs
- 4 multifunction high side, low side, high side PWM (100Hz-20kHz) outputs. (40A continuous, soft-start inrush limiting 65A, hard-start inrush 65A)
- 2 high side outputs. (40A continuous, hard-start inrush 65A)
- 8 high side, high side PWM (100Hz-20kHz) outputs. (15A continuous, hard-start inrush 30A)
- 2 high side outputs (15A continuous, hard-start inrush 30A)
- Output linking (‘teaming’) to support very high current devices.
- 2 additional low side outputs with configurable PWM (100Hz-10kHz, 5A maximum).
- 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 scalable CAN (‘soft’) outputs.
- Custom datastream (CAN) – i.e. customisable channel current, channel state and device information.
Inputs
- 12 physical 0-5V inputs, including software selectable 3k Ohm pull-up resistors.
- Four inputs capable of programmable “wake ” functionality.
- Comparing and manipulating real numbers (floating point decimal) in schematic using configurable logic blocks.
- Analogue inputs can be linearised, viewed as raw voltage or Boolean values.
- Dedicated wake pin.
- 128 CAN ‘soft’ inputs with configurable scaling
Interfaces
- 2x 100Mbit/s full duplex Ethernet (Ethernet switch functionality).
- 3x CAN 2.0B – fully flexible.
- Option for galvanically isolated CAN bus (CAN3 – custom projects only)
- RS232C serial interface (custom projects only)
- LIN Bus (custom projects only)
Power Supply
- 6V to 20V input voltage (12v)
- Dedicated logic power input.
- Regulated 5V sensor reference supply output with full circuit protection.
6V to 30V (24V) and 6V to 60V (48V) input voltage versions are also available.
Sleep State
- Low power standby state with configurable wake options:
- Wake by voltage signal (1.6mA).
- Wake by any CAN activity (CAN1 only) (2mA).
- Wake by specific CAN frame (two frames required, CAN-1 only) (2mA).
- Wake by CAN specific CAN frame with low latency (one frame required, CAN-1 only) (10mA)
ECU Slaving
- Allows a Life Racing ECU to “claim” unused pins across a dedicated CAN bus utilising the following PDU I/O:
- Outputs 1-4 with additional functionality including H-Bridge pairing and configurable PWM frequencies
- Low Outputs 5-6 with configurable PWM frequencies
- All 12 inputs, including eight frequency capable (optionally bipolar), and all with software selectable 3k Ohm pull-up resistors
Physical
