MoTeC PDM15 Power Distribution Module

A$1,958.05

This sophisticated 15-output electronic power distribution module replaces conventional relays, fuses, and circuit breakers for managing power to lights, motors, ECUs, data loggers, and more—simplifying wiring and boosting reliability.

Key Features & Capabilities

  • Each output (8 × 20 A and 7 × 8 A) offers programmable over-current, short-circuit, and thermal protection, helping to safeguard vehicle systems.

  • Outputs can be programmed in 1 A steps and controlled using switch inputs, CAN messages, or custom logic, with support for up to 200 logic operations (e.g., Flash, Pulse, Toggle, AND/OR).

  • 16 switch inputs supporting voltages between 0–51 V (resolution 0.2 V), ideal for triggers and monitoring.

  • Continuous diagnostic feedback (input/output voltage, current, error status, temperature) is available via CAN messages.

Specifications at a Glance

  • Outputs: 8 × 20 A (20 A cont., 115 A peak); 7 × 8 A (8 A cont., 60 A peak)

  • Switch Inputs: 16, 0–51 V range, 0.2 V resolution

  • Communications: CAN bus for configuration, control, and diagnostics

  • Connectivity: 1 × 34-pin waterproof, 1 × 26-pin waterproof, 1 × M6 stud

  • Dimensions: & Weight ~108 × 128 × 39 mm, magnesium housing, ~260 g

  • Protection: Reverse battery and load-dump protection for module and peripherals

Software & Configuration

The PDM is configured using PDM Manager software via CAN (UTC adapter required). It allows complete setup of inputs, outputs, logic rules, firmware updates, and real-time diagnostics.

Installation Notes

  • Mount the module in a ventilated area—internal temperatures can reach 110 °C. Temperature monitoring and cooling strategies (airflow, heat sinking) are advised.

  • Ensure proper wiring of the CAN bus with necessary termination resistors and follow MoTeC guidelines for battery feed and grounding.
