Just eliminating the obvious, but you are clicking the "Retrieve" button after connecting?

No tripped option in the outputs


How come I don't show a tripped option on the outputs, the tripped count doesn't seem to do anything.

1.1.6 has an issue with this. If you need it, let me know and we can send the 1.1.7 pre release which has this fixed. you can get around it by using a generic function output x status > 1 Then use that in the fault LED condition.

Permanent Power and CANBUS

I have two PDMs and I intended to leave one permanently powered for things like central locking. The second would be powered on a switch along with the ECU.


I'm finding that the can bus doesn't connect properly unless I connect to the permanently powered pdm with the laptop.


Is there any way to get around this issue? I'm assuming that the permanently powered pdm is marking the bus as dead when it can't contact the other devices.

Yes you need at least two active devices on the CAN bus for it to work correctly

12v on analogue input

I am looking to put a 12v input into my PDM25 v1and monitor that its voltage is at least greater than 5v. Checking the documentation I see the following ...



Just need to check that I read that as that I can add a 12v input but I can only measure up to 6v of that input ... would that sound correct or should I put no more than 6v into the input?


Thanks in advance

you can put 12V on it no problem, but it will only read up to 6V.
