Intelligent Power Distribution Device (iPDD)
Curtiss-Wright's family of rugged, vehicle-ready power distribution technologies can be combined in common or distributed packages to provide vehicle specific solutions for mobile power management. The Intelligent Power Distribution Device (iPDD) is an example of several of these technologies integrated in a single chassis.
The Curtiss-Wright iPDD is a ruggedized power distribution and conditioning device designed for use in military vehicle applications. It is capable of delivering up to 2.75 kW to multiple loads from either of two 18-33 VDC inputs or a 115/220 VAC 50/60 Hz single phase input with uninterrupted transition from one input power source to another. Three types of regulated output voltage are available: Eight channels of 28 VDC, one 12 VDC output and one 115 VAC output. The iPDD interfaces to the core computing element through an Ethernet TCP/IP connection and an open, host level, API for custom application development. An RS-232 serial interface is also provided for channel configuration, monitoring and control through a text based command line interface. A simple GUI facilitates configuration and operation over the Ethernet link during development. Digital inputs and outputs are provided to facilitate individual control of each output channel. The iPDD has been designed with modularity & scalability as primary goals to facilitate use in multiple platforms.
