Syvecs PDU Key Pad The Syvecs PDU Key Pad is a motorsport-grade CAN-based interface designed to provide the driver with tactile control over the vehicle’s electrical systems. Available in 4, 8, 12, or 15-button configurations, these keypads replace traditional toggle switches and simplify dashboard wiring by communicating over a single 4-wire CAN bus connection rather than individual hard-wired circuits. When integrated with a Syvecs PDUX or ECU, each button can be programmed with complex logic. This allows for multi-function behavior, such as a single button press turning on the ignition, while a long press triggers the starter motor. The RGB backlighting provides instant visual feedback, changing colors to indicate if a circuit is active, faulted, or in standby mode. Performance and Precision Engineering The keypads are designed for use in harsh racing environments, featuring a ruggedized construction that can be operated easily while wearing racing gloves. CAN Bus Communication: Reduces loom complexity by transmitting all button states over two wires, significantly saving weight and clutter behind the dashboard. RGB Status Feedback: Every button features independent RGB LEDs that can be programmed to change color (e.g., Green for "On," Red for "Fault," Blue for "Flash") via the Syvecs PDU software. Replaceable Keycap Inserts: Includes a diverse sheet of icons (Fan, Fuel Pump, Lights, etc.), allowing the user to customize the layout to their specific vehicle needs. IP67 Rated: Fully sealed against dust and moisture, making it suitable for open-cockpit race cars and off-road vehicles. Integration and Logic The Key Pad acts as a "soft" input device for the PDUX or ECU. Using the Syvecs software, you can assign "Control Logic" to any button. Common Programming Examples: Toggle Mode: Press once for "On," press again for "Off." Momentary Mode: Active only while the button is held (useful for Horn or Flash-to-Pass). Multi-State Mode: Cycle through different maps (e.g., Position 1 = Blue/Low Boost, Position 2 = Red/High Boost). Fault Warning: Program a button to flash Bright Red if the PDU detects a pump failure or over-current state.
