Example: Using PV380 with a PDM

This is a PV380 configuration built with PowerVision Configuration Studio 2.8 Patch 3 that sends commands to a PDM (IX3212) from button presses. We think it could be useful to you see what the command structure and sequence is. Detailed notes are located in the configuration tab.

When using a monochrome display, Free Form messages must be used to setup the IX3212, so with this configuration, you can see some of the work that is being done in the PDM application that is available in Powervision Configuration Studio with color displays. The application lets you use windows forms to setup the very same J1939 messages for configuring an IX3212 that are used in this configuration.

This configuration displays switch status, bat volts, software version, fault codes and analog input readings, turns digital outputs on/off, as well as changes a global PWM rate for all outputs.

The configuration should be most useful to help debug the communication between a display and an IX3212, to help learn IX3212 behavior and perhaps to help troubleshoot problems with an IX3212.

Example PDM CONTROLLER PV380.zip

This example has been updated to include the following features:

Added H-Bridge mode of operation
Added ability to turn all outputs on/off simultaneously so you can see the time delay between each output turning on to limit the power surge.
Several extra pages have been added to accommodate the new features.

To configure the PDM go to the High side driver setup page or the H-Bridge setup page and press the button to send the configuration messages 0x06 and 0x07 then press the Function Config message button twelve times to send message 0x00 to each of the twelve outputs sequentially.

The example was last created in Powervision for Monochrome 2.9.23044
