Type PowerPlex^® Power Module PM500

The PowerPlex^® PM500 is our Power Module with physically isolated CAN bus interface as well as redundant protective functions for connected DC loads. Analog to the PowerPlex^® DC024, the device can control and monitor a total of twelve electrical loads. Each module has a manual override function for each 8 A and 25 A output via integral electro-mechanical mini circuit breakers. This allows manual and direct switch-over and ensures access to critical functions.

Product features:

• Galvanic isolation of the CAN interfaces
• Configurable outputs (2 x 25 A, 6 x 8 A, 4 x 1 A)
• Software-controlled overcurrent protection with current measurement
• Hardware-controlled safety disconnection
• Self-protection of power transistors
• Mini circuit breakers with manual switching function

Application examples:

• Control and monitoring of DC loads
• Control, dimming and monitoring of lights
• Control and monitoring of navigation lights
• Control and monitoring of the anchor light
• Voltage measurement
• Current measurement
• Temperature measurement
• Control of heating and air-conditioning systems
• Fuel flow monitoring
• Fuel tank level / remaining volume
• Water tank levels / remaining volume
