Purpose

Supplemental display for metrics the Dakota Digital doesn't show well:

Data Source Notes
Boost pressure PMU An 5 0-5V transducer
EGT PMU An 6 Thermocouple + amplifier
START battery voltage PMU internal Already monitored
AUX battery voltage PMU An 7 Voltage divider
PMU output currents PMU internal Per-channel monitoring
PMU faults/warnings PMU internal Overcurrent, thermal
Oil temp PMU via J1939 Pass-through from Cummins
Coolant temp PMU via J1939 Pass-through from Cummins

Integration

Cummins ECM ──J1939──► PMU24 ──ECUMaster CAN──► ADU7
              Analog sensors (boost, EGT, trans temp, AUX voltage)
  • PMU24 reads J1939 engine data and analog sensor inputs
  • PMU24 broadcasts on ECUMaster CAN protocol
  • ADU7 receives natively - same manufacturer, no custom templates

Wiring

Connection Wire Source Notes
Power (12V) 16 AWG PMU OUT14 SWITCHED with ignition
Ground 16 AWG TBD A-pillar ground point
CAN H 20 AWG PMU24 CAN 2 ECUMaster protocol
CAN L 20 AWG PMU24 CAN 2 Twisted pair with CAN H

Outstanding Items

  • Confirm PMU24 CAN output configuration for ADU7 data
  • Determine A-pillar ground point location
  • Select boost pressure transducer (0-5V, range TBD based on expected boost)
  • Select EGT probe and amplifier
  • Design AUX battery voltage divider circuit for PMU analog input
  • Configure ADU7 display pages/layout
  • Route CAN wiring from PMU (firewall) to A-pillar
