PowerModule™ Product Developer Kit (PDK)
For Single-Converter Systems
The PowerModule™ PM1000 Product Developer Kit (PDK) allows OEMs, VARs, system integrators and end-users to quickly develop power conversion systems to address a wide range of applications. Using the PDK graphical user interface (GUI), you can quickly modify parameters of the four standard software modules of the PM1000 to meet your specific application needs.
The PM1000 is a fully self-supportive, high density power converter that incorporates a dual DSP controller that can also be used to incorporate a user’s control algorithms and eliminate the need for a separate controller. The PM1000 in the PDK comes pre-configured as a 3-phase power converter and can support any of the following power conversion types: AC-DC, DC-DC or DC-AC. The PM1000 is also loaded with one of four standard software application modules (Active Rectifier; DC-DC, AC Voltage Source or Motor Control).
The GUI provides a human machine interface on a developer’s computer for setting up the PM1000 parameters, passing parameters back to the user interface for display, and/or calculations and control of the system by the operator. The GUI provides the ability to quickly integrate and diagnose a PM1000 power conversion system.

Connect-and-Go 3-step process:
1. Load the GUI software.
2. Attach communication hardware.
3. Attach system components and cables.
Using the Product Developer Kit (PDK) can reduce the cycle time and cost associated with developing a power conversion system. This reduction in time provides the potential for earlier revenue realization, taking on an additional opportunity/project, or further design refinement.
