POWER MANAGEMENT SYSTEM
First Sensors Power Management System (PMS) is a solid state replacement for relays and circuit breakers . It incorporates a built in master switch for the a whole car system .
The PMS connects directly to the battery though Two high power AS connectors and distributes power to the whole car via its 32 outputs and it high power starter output .
The PMS is fully configurable via Pc program and all channels can be set up individually to suit the current rating of the device connected to it . The PMS can re try a channel when a failure happens , this is set in the user interface . alternatively the PMS can switch a channel off and display a fault via the switch controller unit that comes with the PMS .
The switch Controller multiplexes up too 24 switches and 8 digital inputs into a four wire system back to the PMS . switch controller also has 32 fail LED outputs AND 32 on status LED outputs , this allows for either touch button switch panel with built in display LEDS or for the designer to make a light weight switch panel with display LEDS.
The PMS also has the ability to be connected to a CAN bus , The PMS can send current data for each of the channels in real time to a data logger or car controller , it also can be controlled by any device that has CAN support .
