PWM Range limits

Im working on a PWM fan control strategy and im running into an issue with the way that the PWM mapping is done in the outputs. The fan i have is a spal 18 inch 850w fan from a 2019 camaro SS. This fan requires 10% to stay on and 90% for full speed, below 10% or above 90% sets an error code.

This is my current mapping that i have and i have no way of setting 10% or 90% as the baseline in comparison to the coolant temperature. I will probably need to make another 2d table to create an artificial 10-90% bottom and top threshold. One suggestion i could make to solve this issue is to allow adjustability of the scalars (the 0-100% numbers on the left of the value inputs) This would allow for much easier interpolation and setting top and bottom thresholds. (Have a project…

Hi, You may need to use a maths channel with a min/max function to limit the range that the value can be, then use the result of the maths channel to be the PWM mapping variable

Outputs have 10v when all off

Hello, first time using a PDM15 v2 so im wondering if i have made an error myself in the programming, Im trying to test my ecu on and off but everytime i turn off the output the ecu is staying on because the output reads 10.5-10.8v, same goes for all the other outputs those devices just dont turn on, they all read 10.5-10.8v, ive tested all the outputs in case of any back feed and there is no power going back other than the Pin 3 on the green DT connector that requires power. Thanks for your help!

Unless you have a pulldown resistor attached to the output, or an actual load, then you will see this. We have an installation where one of the outputs drives a fuel transfer pump. The output line is also connected to an engine monitor input to display an alert when the pump is on. If the pump is not connected, the monitor thinks the pump is on because the output floats high. But when the pump is connected, everything functions as expected.

Canbus stream not sending voltage values



I have a project that im working on that im looking to stream all of the voltages from the inputs directly to another canbus device and it looks like nothing is coming in on the input #6 and 7 which are setup as temperature sensors (and are at 2.3v in the first input picture) Kvaser on the same bus is capturing that 00xx data is coming through even though there is definitely voltages on this input. This specifically seems to only affect the inputs, the outputs do output the proper voltage all the way down to 0v atleast on the HS, not sure about the LS. This isnt a major issue on this project, just wanted to bring it up to the developer for fixing in the future.

PDM25 V1 CAN Stream

I have a PDM25 V1 and a PDM25 V2.


The V2 exposes the hardwire can stream contents in the configurator and I'm good with that, but the V1 doesn't.


I hoped that, by ticking the enable stream checkbox and selecting the Hardwire option, it would output a similar stream.


That doesn't seem to be the case and you can't load a config file in either.


I've looked at the hwpdm file (JSON) in the hope that I could just paste in the file from the V2, but the properties are different.


Also, the v2 stream uses 40 frames, which would use all of the available frames in the V1, which isn't ideal.
