PDU-8 Tx Message 2, 0x000A0610 (for unit 1) continuous transmit at 20 hz
The PDU-8 is controlled by 2 CAN received messages;
Rx Message 1 receives the control information to the PDU-8 unit. Each message consists of 8 bytes. Each
byte controls 1 of the 8 output drives. Byte 1 controls drive 1... Byte 8 controls drive 8. If the value is set to
0 then the output is off. A non 0 value sets the current limit for the output. If a value higher than the allowed
maximum is selected then the current limit is set to the max allowed for that channel. If the PDU-8 unit does
not receive the command message within 500mS it will switch off all the outputs and flash the Status LED.
PDMMaxCurrent0#
is an unsigned 8 bit number with a scale of 0.4A and an offset of 0 (0-102A).
PDU-8 Rx Message 1, 0x000A0620 (for unit 1) timeout if not updated within 500mS
