PDM: Still One of the Smartest Ways to Power Your Machine

Posted on: April 1st, 2025 by Kati Zumwalt

When we first introduced the IX3212 Intelligent Xpansion™ Power Distribution Module (PDM), our goal was simple: give engineers and machine builders a smarter, better way to manage electrical power. Years later, the PDM continues to prove itself as one of the most capable tools in our lineup. Flexible, rugged, and ready for anything you build next.

With 10 solid-state outputs and four inputs for discrete or analog control, the PDM simplifies wiring and reduces the need for bulky relays and fuses. It’s fully configurable through our PowerVision software and easily integrates with our full line of displays and controllers, allowing you to create a seamless, smart control system.

Built to thrive in tough environments, the PDM features an IP67-rated housing and sealed connectors for protection against dust, water, and vibration. Whether it’s mounted on a utility vehicle, construction equipment, or an off-road machine, it’s ready to perform.

The best part? It’s as open-ended as your imagination. You can mount it wherever you want, assign functions as needed, and grow your system without the limitations of traditional fuse blocks or custom wire harnesses.
