Multiplexed Power Distribution Module
Overview
The Multiplexed Power Distribution Module (MPDM) offers economical CAN Network oversight for high power circuits in vehicle electrical system. It is also known as the mVec, it functions as a multiplexed Vehicle Electrical Center. It is manufactured as a hardened and weather tight module, it may be configured to provide various OEM circuit protection and switching functions, using industry standard fuses, relays and breakers, with the status and control of each circuit accessible through J1939/CAN open messages. In addition, the connector and power - ground studs have weather tight connectors. A MotoHawk library is also available for easy integration of the MPDM.

Highlights
High Power - This module uses a technology that is ideal for high current circuits and networking electronics. Each module is rated up to 30 A, and a maximum of 32 outputs are possible with it. 12 and 24 volt systems are both supported on this module.
Ruggedness – Waterproof to high pressure spraying, this module is designed and manufactured with robust features such as heavy duty housing, silicon and Gortex gasketing, and protective conformal coated electronics, to operate in demanding vehicle environments such as those found in construction, agriculture, heavy truck, bus, RV, marine and specialty vehicle markets.
Flexibility – This module is offered in various standard and customized versions, with custom versions being configured to OEM wiring requirements. It accepts relays, fuses, circuit breakers, resistors, diodes etc based on the industry standard 2.8 mm footprint. Not only that, the software works with MotoHawk and New Eagle offers a pre-programmed application library to facilitate seamless integration with systems being developed on the same platform.
