1. Understanding the CM0504
e Controller Module (CM) 0504 is a general purpose input / output controller that includes a single
CAN interface, 5 inputs and 4 outputs with error checking. e main function of the module is to
provide a means of controlling high current loads through messages on the CAN bus. e outputs can be
congured as either high-side or low-side drivers. e module outputs can be congured to support up
to two full H-bridge motor drives to control directional motors.
e CM0504 is only available as a CAN slave module and does not support standalone operation.
However, it does support limited congurability, to specify things like input congurations, and update
rates for the messages presented on the CAN bus. e conguration tool is available from our website,
www.parker.com/ecd under ‘Support’.
Figure 1.1. CM0504 controller module
e CM0504 is designed to communicate through a J1939-based Controller Area Network (CAN) and can
be used in any CAN 2.0B application.
e CM0504 has many features, as follows:
• e CM0504 can monitor up to 5 inputs:
• 1 active-high with wake up input (can be used as power control).
• 4 programmable inputs (can be used as analog, digital, resistive, or frequency).
• e CM0504 has 4 outputs:
• up to 25 A load, module total 100 A (can be congured as high-side or
low-side).
• standard 500 Hz PWM default (capable of up to 2 kHz, engineering review required to verify for
each application).
• e CM0504 has 4 connectors (2x Deutsch DTHD 1 position, 1x Deutsch DTP 4 position, 1x Deutsch
DTM 12 position) that are used to interface with the inputs, outputs, power and CAN.

4.1.2. Analog Inputs Connections
Analog inputs are susceptible to system noise, which can aect the accuracy of the signal. Signal
accuracy can also be aected by ground level shift, which can cause inputs to activate when they
shouldn’t.
System noise
To prevent noise pickup on the sensors,
• Use the shortest possible wires when connecting analog inputs to sensors.
e following shows how to connect an analog input to reduce system noise:
Internal to product
Sensor Power
Sensor Ground
Sensor
Analog Input
Figure 4.1. Analog input for system noise reduction
Ground level shift
To reduce ground level shift:
1. Dedicate one of the 2 system ground inputs (GND) to sensors that have dedicated ground wires, and
connect all sensor grounds to this system ground input.
2. Splice the other system ground inputs together in the vehicle harness (close to the connector) to
provide a better ground for the noisier low-side outputs and digital circuits.
3. Position the sensor’s ground connection near the system ground connections to ensure that the
signal remains within the digital activation range of the input.
Note 1: e system ground inputs are rated for low-current signals, which ensures the sensor’s ground is
very close in voltage potential to the system ground.
Note 2: Sensors that don’t have a dedicated ground wire are typically grounded to the vehicle chassis
through the sensor’s body.

4.2. Power control digital input
e CM0504 has 1 active-high power control digital input that is used for waking up (turning on) the
product (INPUT1).
is type of input has a pull-down resistor option only. When the input is active it turns on the power
supply pass transistor to power up the unit. e input is sensed directly by the microprocessor.
4.2.1. Power control input, circuit characteristics
e following table provides specications for the CM0504 power control digital input:
Power control digital input characteristics
Item MIN NOM MAX UNIT
Input voltage range 0 32 V
Over-voltage 36 V
Pull-down resistance 21.2 kΩ
Capacitance at pin 1000 pF
Input Power Up Threshold 2.5 4.3 V
Note: e power control digital input voltage must be greater than 4.3 V before it is considered an active
high input.
e power control digital input wakes up the CM0504 when switched high to a voltage of 4.3 V or greater.
e CM0504 will shut o when an open circuit condition occurs on the power control digital input,
unless it is congured to ‘Wake on CAN’.

CM0504 User Guide

4.2.2. Power control digital input connections
If the active high digital input is congured to wake up the module:
• e power control digital input is usually connected to the vehicle ignition, but it can be connected
to any power source in a system.
• To protect the harness that connects the CM0504 to the ignition, place a fuse of 200 mA or higher in
the circuit that feeds the CM0504.
• When battery power (VBATT) is connected, and the power control digital input is inactive, the
CM0504 will go into sleep mode.
• e CM0504 has ‘Wake on CAN’ capability. Even when it is not congured for wake on CAN, the bus
must be completely silent in order for the CM0504 to stay in low power sleep mode. Until the correct
wakeup conditions are sensed, the CM0504 will appear “o” (outputs o and no CAN tx) but there is
