Würth Elektronik introduces vehicle power controller
Würth Elektronik has introduced the ePDM 70-150, a controller that changes the way power is distributed in vehicle electrical systems.
This solution combines logic processing, communication, advanced diagnostic possibilities and high-current outputs in a compact device, setting new standards in vehicle electrics and electronics.
The ePDM 70-150 is designed to meet the growing demands of intelligent and connected mobile machines and commercial vehicles. As a versatile controller with power distribution abilities, it offers many advantages.
Equipped with nine analogue and digital inputs and a variety of outputs up to 35A, the ePDM 70-150 is designed for demanding control and power distribution tasks. It operates efficiently over a temperature range of -30°C to +85°C, with a current carrying capacity of 150A at 70°C. IP67 / IP69K protection ensures reliable operation even in harsh environments.
Furthermore, the ePDM 70-150 enables various wake-up scenarios, such as activating the in-cab HMI when the door opens. It also features 'always on' outputs that remain active even in sleep mode, ensuring a protected power supply to critical components such as telematics modules.
The ePDM 70-150 can be easily integrated into existing vehicle designs without the need for direct access and has a high degree of protection (IP67 / IP69K). This significantly simplifies both installation and cabin design. Extensive diagnostic functions, such as the recording of switching frequency or operating time per output, facilitate service and support preventive maintenance.
The ePDM 70-150 is fully programmable and supported by the powerful WEcontrol Designer programming environment. It offers a wide variety of features, including a J1939 library and advanced online debugging functionality. With the ePDM 70-150, Würth Elektronik ICS is setting new standards in vehicle electronics, providing OEMs with a future-proof control solution that excels in power distribution and meets the challenges of modern, connected vehicles.
