1 About PowerBox PBX 190
The Bosch PowerBox PBX 190 takes the whole Power Control Module concept much further than existing modules. It provides an effective and inspired alternative to conventional relays, circuit breakers, fuses and wires that can so often be a tangle of complexity
and untidiness around a typical racing car’s power junction box.
PowerBox PBX 190 is a compact and light weight module, measuring 245 x 183 x 37 mm(including connectors).
PowerBox PBX 190 has 52 outputs. All outputs are protected against reversed battery polarity. Current draw can be measured on all outputs from 0 mA.
Any of these channels can be controlled by various types and combinations of inputs.
You’ll find more information at Technical Specifications [} 48].
Instead of using a conventional control program, PowerBox PBX 190 benefits from a 667
MHz dual Core Processor and a multitasking operating system, allowing simultaneous executions of operations.
Please note that the maximum recommended current draw per channel is limited by theconnector contacts (wiring loom side) - not by Bosch PowerBox PBX 190s driver stages.
We have rated the individual channel’s current draw in relation to the connector manufacturer’s specifications.
PowerBox PBX 190 is programmed to shut overloaded channels down if the current draw
or internal junction temperatures exceed pre-set levels.
A smart algorithm allows automatically turning-on of loads with a high inrush current.
The current draws and channel status can be logged internally and exported via one of
the three available CAN busses.

WARNING

Please note that the PowerBox PBX 190 is not intended to be used tocontrol safety-critical systems on a vehicle, such as ABS braking,power steering, etc..
Bosch Motorsport shall not be responsible for any incidental or consequential damages or
injuries that may occur if the unit is used to control these, or similar, safety-critical systems.

2 Hardware
The Bosch PowerBox PBX 190 enclosure is completely CNC machined to the highest
standards. The two parts of the casing are sealed by an O-ring, located in a recess in themain half. A lip in the lid presses on the O-ring and assures a water tight sealing(IP67). The
connectors are individually sealed.

2.1 Ventilation
To reach specified current values an airflow of 2 m/s over the PBX 190 housing is recommended.

2.2 Status LEDs
Each LED on the PBX 190 has its own color code with different meanings.

The following table explains the different meanings:

2.4 Supply Concept
The battery supply of the device and the supply of all switches is done via X2. The best
way to connect the PowerBox to GND is only using X1_p, X1_q, X1_r and X3_V. GND current is limited to 75 A.
KL31-fused pins (X5_31 and X5_40) can also be used to connect the supply to the PowerBox with GND. This is only recommended when only highside switches and no internal
freewheeling diodes are used.
To supply active sensors with 5 V use SENSPWR_5_1 (X5_51) and SENSPWR_5_2 (X5_58).
SENS-GND-1 (X5_45) and SENS-GND-2 (X5_52) are the reference ground of these sensor
supply voltages. Use these two ground pins preferred for analog sensor reference.
For digital inputs ground reference pins X5_19 and X5_20 can be used.

Recommended wiring

2.5 48 V Stages
GND of 48 V and GND of 12 V battery must be shorted. A galvanic isolation of supplies is
not supported. An external capacitor is recommended to limit voltages spikes on the supply line at load drop.
It is recommended to use an external fuse when using 48 V to be safe in case of a shortcut
to GND. For details using 48 V in PBX 190 please contact Bosch Motorsport.

2.6 Current measurement
Each Output stage has its own shunt resistor to measure the output current. Here you canfind an overview of the current measurement accuracy.

2.7 Inertial Sensors
PBX 190 has implemented a Low G-Sensor and a Gyroscope Sensor. The measured acceleration of the internal sensors reflects the acceleration of the device at its mounting position. Below you can see the orientation of the measurement axis and the accuracy of thesensors.

Gyroscope Sensor±2,000 °/s in each direction

3 % ± 3 °/s

CAUTION

The sensors functionality is only guaranteed when device temperature is max. 85°C.

CAUTIONECU internal sensor values must not be used for safety related functionality, e.g. ABS

The sensor values are provided by the function block “Acceleration”
An angular correction from the device to the vehicle coordinate system can be performedby setting the function block parameters “AnglePos_ECU_X/_Y/_Z” according to the z, y’,x’’-convention generally used in the vehicle technics.

The setup file for the PBX Suite is provided at the Bosch Motorsport internet homepage at
the product page of the PowerBox PBX 190.
For the PBX Suite v2.5.0.3 and 2.5.1 or higher, no personal license key is required.
For older versions, a required personal license key can be requested by mail toLicenseMotorsport.BEG@de.bosch.com
The installation requires administrator rights.
Start the installation by running setup.exe and follow the wizard steps.

4 The Structure Editor: Create a new
configuration
A configuration is the unit you exchange between the programming tool PBX Suite andyour PowerBox PBX 190 after all changes and modifications.
For creating a configuration we developed the PBX Suite. This software tool enables visualprogramming of the configuration of your PowerBox.
– Start the program PBX Suite.
– Click Structure Editor in the menu box on the left side (1).

– Click New (2).
– Select your PBX type (3).
– Load the corresponding PST file (4).
– Confirm by clicking OK (5).

4.1 Function Blocks
The key technology of the PBX Suite is the function block. All functions of the PowerBox
can be programmed and modified by using a string of function blocks.
Every function block is divided into three parts:

A

B

C

– A is the top part that includes the unique name of the function block. It is userchangeable.

The Structure Editor: Create a new configuration | 4– B is the middle part that shows static parameters of the function block.
– C is the bottom part that shows dynamic input and output signals of the function
block.
In part B and part C, the colored rectangles symbolize the signal connections: inputs on
the left side and outputs on the right side.

As you will have realized in the steps 4 to 6, the system offers signals of three different
data types:– Boolean (Background color always GREEN)– Integer (Background color always YELLOW)– Float (Background color always ORANGE)
If function blocks are available as different data type, you can identify the data type fromthe background color of the inputs and outputs and from the end of the function blocks
name. The last letter will show the data type.
Example:The function block CAN_Input is available as data type Boolean or data type Integer ordata type Float. To separate one from the other, we put a letter at the end of the function
blocks name:Bosch Motorsport

7.3 Error log
A red dot in the upper right corner of the box indicates if the error log contains at least
one entry.
If blinking, at least one active error entry is present.
Else only passive error(s) are present.

In the context menu select View Error Log to view the error log entries.

Besides the location and type further information are available.
To clear the error log, click Clear Error Log in the upper left corner of the error log window.

The Error Log can also be accessed with RaceCon.
RaceCon also provides access to the following measurements variables:– General Error Log Status (device measurement label “error_state”)– No error present in memory– At least one inactive error present in memory, no active errors– At least one active error present in memory– Error type (device label “error_type_rotate”)
e.g., “below_threshold” for a violation of the minimum voltage range defined in theconfiguration, “shortcut_Batt” for a shortcut to battery voltage etc.

7 | The Powerbox Manager– Error location (device label “error_location_rotate”)
e.g., “ANA01” for an error concerning the first ANA channel– Error active state (device label “error_active_rotate”)
All failure modes are continuously diagnosed; any error detected will be written to theerror memory. Once an error is detected, it is qualified as “active”.
– 1 (TRUE) Error was detected in most recent diagnose run (active)– 0 (FALSE) Error is inactive: error was not detected in most recent diagnostic run,however the error has not been cleared from the memory by the user and remains in the non‐volatile memory
The aforementioned labels (error_active_rotate, error_location_rotate, error_type_rotate)cycle through the errors currently present in the memory and represent the respective
property of each error periodically.
