The i-PDM Plus is In-CarPC’s top-spec PDM (Power Distribution Module) supporting 25 outputs all controlled through the i-PDM’s software. The i-PDM replaces the need for conventional relays and fuses in the vehicles electrical system, improving reliability while also simplifying the wiring system of the vehicle.
Description
The i-PDM Plus is our high-spec Power Distribution Module solution with all the functionality of the i-PDM Core. It features 10 additional outputs compared to the i-PDM Core and 2 CAN Bus interfaces. The i-PDM Plus supports 16 input functions and 25 outputs. With 19 high side outputs, 4 hybrid high/low side outputs and 2 with reverse current protection. The 2 CAN Bus connections adds the ability integrate the system into the existing vehicle CAN Bus. It also allows for connecting up to 2 CAN Keypads to each CAN Bus. This means you can connect up to a staggering 4 CAN Keypads to the i-PDM Plus.
The In-CarPC i-PDM replaces relays and fuses in the vehicles electrical system with a fully customisable power distribution module. It also takes input signals from physical switches, analogue voltages and the vehicles CAN Bus. The i-PDM controls various outputs including, radiator fans, vehicle lighting and even our existing range of PC’s and routers through these input controls. All signals are programmable via the i-PDM’s configuration software which features resettable fuses with fully customisable parameters.
The current being drawn across the whole system is constantly being monitored by the i-PDM. The current for each individual connection can be viewed in the software. The fusing values are constantly checked against the drawn current and then if there is a fault due to over current the device is switched off to protect the vehicles wiring loom and also the connected device. If the devices fuse is set to retry the i-PDM will automatically reset the fuse and restart the device. This monitoring can also be used to log data from the vehicles electrical system and CAN Bus, meaning the whole of the vehicles electrical system can be monitored and graphed in real time increasing reliability and dependability.
Included

Advantages Over Fuses and Relays
- Greatly simplifies system wiring and reduces system component count, saving you money overall when labour/ time is accounted for.
- Reduces the weight of the electrical system.
- Provides increased reliability over traditional systems using mechanical relays.
- Solid state technology removes the problem of relay contact corrosion and relay bouncing in vibration heavy applications.
- Smart features such as indicator and wiper motor modes remove the need for extra control units.
- Current draw can be monitored and logged to pre-emptively detect faults.
- CAN bus communication allows your i-PDM to send/receive data from other CAN bus devices in the vehicle, such as the vehicle ECU. This paves the way for advanced control/ safety strategies such as automatic engine cut offs, fuel pump cut offs, radiator fan control and more.
- Easy integration with popular CAN bus keypads, improving system reliability and functionality.
