APPLICATIONS

The VMM1615 is a general-purpose controller for vehicles and other applications where the steady-state voltage is less than or equal to 32 Vdc.

It has 16 inputs and 15 outputs and two CAN/J1939 communication ports.

The module is fully compatible with other Parker Vansco multiplexer modules.

Features

The VMM1615 has a CAN wake-up function. It has 7 digital inputs;

Five of the inputs are used to read active high/low signals, one input is used to read active high signals, and one input is used for active high power control.

In addition, there are 8 analog voltage www.abb-drive.com readable inputs and a DC-coupled frequency input.

The VMM1615 has 12 high voltage side outputs with a maximum PWM frequency of 500 Hz, 4 of which provide accurate current detection.

It also has a low voltage side current sense output with a maximum PWM frequency of 1500 Hz and two solid state relay outputs.

These outputs can drive a variety of load types.

The system meets and exceeds SAE J1455 environmental standards and advances multiplexing technology with enhanced diagnostic features and Windows-based ladder logic programming.

The VMM1615 can be used alone or in conjunction with other multiplexing modules.

The multiplexing system is designed to simplify and reduce electrical system troubleshooting, maintenance and documentation time.

The modules are available in plug-and-play configurations and feature LED status indicators that show input, output, power, and network activity status.

Reliability

The VMM1615 continuously monitors its 15 outputs for fault information.

Faults detected include short circuits (ground or power), overcurrents, and open loads.

The VMM1615 allows the outputs to protect themselves electronically, thus allowing the system to reduce the number of fuses.

In the event of a fault, the device disables the output where the fault occurred.

On-board diagnostics allow for easy troubleshooting, and the autoprogrammable module saves time and maintenance costs by keeping module and program inventory to a minimum.

VMM users appreciate the module’s rugged design as well as the stringent industry environmental requirements and communications (SAE J1939) standards.

All of these features make the controller easy to integrate into any on- or off-highway vehicle.
