DETAILED DESCRIPTION
DETAILED DESCRIPTION
PowerMate 8 has 8 MOSFET Outputs which are rated at 20 Ampere each maximum. All outputs can ONLY be
Switched to Battery. Each Output is double protected by hardware and software, i.e.
MOSFET OUTPUT
MOSFET OUTPUT
PowerMate 8 can shut down the MOSFET in case of Over-Current and
In case of software exception, the fuse will be blown to protect the circuit from further damages.
PowerMate 8 has 8 Binary Inputs which are capable of reading Digital High/Low Input. Each Binary Input can be
configured as Switch to Ground (STG)/Switch to Battery (STB) and High/Low Active independently:
BINARY INPUT
BINARY INPUT
STG Active Input examples: - Park Brake, Door Switch, Locker Doors etc.
STB Active Input examples: - Ignition, PTO, High Beam etc.

ALL
Binary Inputs by default are configured as STB Active Inputs.
PowerMate 8 has one RS-485 channel. It can communicate with other PowerMate Series Digital Switching modules
and Keypads within the system network using the OmniBus Interface.
OMNIBUS INTERFACE
OMNIBUS INTERFACE
PowerMate 8 is default configured to communicate at 9600 bps (9600, 8-N-1).
The user can retrieve system status such as output and input pin conditions, current status, analog input
values as well as battery status.
PowerMate 8 has one CAN channel. It can communicate with other PowerMate Series Digital Switching Systems
using CAN Interface.
CAN INTERFACE
CAN INTERFACE
PowerMate 8 is default configured to communicate at 250 kbps.
PowerMate 8 supports CAN protocols such as J1939, CANOpen, CANStandard etc.
Common Status that the PowerMate Series Digital Switching Systems would be able to obtain from the
CANbus include:
Vehicle Speed
Engine Revolution Per Minute
Gear Position
Further customisation is possible to suit specific client requirements.
