Power Distribution Modules
TWO PDMs. more Possibilities.
Two solid-state, CAN-connected power distribution modules designed for different electrical demands. Choose the IX3212 for distributed I/O and loads up to 15A per output, or the High Current PDM for loads up to 40A per output.

Meet the family
Two modules. One smarter system.
IX3212 Intelligent Xpansion™ PDM
Our best-selling PDM. Expands your CAN network with 12 solid-state outputs that drive work lights, wiper motors, cooling fans and directional DC motors.
- 12 outputs at up to 15A each, 70A continuous total
- 20 inputs: 12 digital, 6 analog 0–5V, 2 resistive
- Works in 12V and 24V systems
- Hardware addressable: swap a unit without reprogramming
- Up to four PDMs on one CAN network for 48 outputs
High Current Power Distribution Module
Built on the IX3212 for high-draw equipment. Drives hydraulic systems, pumps, fans and lighting from one sealed aluminum module.
- 8 outputs at up to 40A each, 200A total
- 2 low-current 100mA outputs for LEDs and relay coils
- 6 inputs configurable for digital, resistive, voltage or 4–20mA
- Open load, short-to-ground and short-to-battery detection
- Per-output current monitoring
Why a PDM
Retire the fuse-and-relay box
Traditional power distribution relies on individual fuses, relays and centralized wiring. Enovation Controls PDMs replace these components with protected, solid-state switching controlled over CAN.
Locate modules closer to electrical loads, reduce harness complexity and access diagnostic information through compatible displays and controllers.
“The PDM provides for simplified harnesses by localizing power to where it's needed in the machine.”Osayamen Imade, International Application Lead, Enovation Controls
Fuses & relays
- Long wire runs back to a central box
- Blown fuses found by hand, one at a time
- No view of what each load is drawing
- Many separate parts to stock and replace
Enovation PDM
- Mounts close to the loads it powers
- Faults reported over J1939
- Overcurrent protection on every output
- One sealed module, configured in software

Compare the PDMs
Both modules share the same J1939 language, so you can pick the right power level for each part of your machine.

Choose the IX3212 if you need
- Distributed I/O spread across the machine
- Medium-current loads such as lights, wipes and fans
- Many sensor and switch inputs on one module
Choose the HCPDM if you need
- Major Power
- 40A loads like large pumps, fans and actuators
- Safe high-current delivery
Built into both
Rugged, connected, easy to service
Speaks J1939
Connects to your existing CAN network and pairs with PowerView displays and uControl controllers for on-screen control and diagnostics.
Protected outputs
Solid-state outputs with overcurrent and short-circuit protection replace fuses that need finding and replacing.
Sealed for the job
Sealed housings and connectors stand up to water, dust, vibration and temperatures from -40 °C to 85 °C.

Emergency services · Australia
“It's a super sticky solution and we are adding to it all the time”
Timara Talbot, Managing Director, Macquarrie Corporation
Macquarrie won a tender to upgrade the control system on emergency-services heavy tankers using a uControl machine controller and IX3212 PDMs across the vehicle's panels. They are now applying multiple IX3212 PDMs to a defense vehicle control system.
Construction · South Africa
Hydraulic rock breaker
Engine Control Systems fitted a new Caterpillar excavator with a rock breaker system run entirely from a PowerView 1100 display and a PDM.
Test equipment · South Africa
Hydraulic test bench
ECS also built a test bench that logs pump pressure and flow and reports results, using a PV780 display and an IX3212 PDM.
