200A Continuous on 16S
VBAT OUT delivers up to 200 A continuous (400 A peak) on 8–16S, with 8AWG terminals for the battery input.
Power & Servo
CAN PMU 16S
SKU · AAD-PMU-16S
High-current 16S power module for current measurement and power to the controller, peripherals and ESC — with full DroneCAN telemetry and ESC control over the CAN bus. Built for heavy-lift platforms drawing up to 200 A continuous.
Key Advantage
Current measurement, power for controller and peripherals, ESC control and power — all on the CAN bus, with short-circuit protection on the regulated lines.
Highlights
Core specs and the high-current features that set the CAN PMU 16S apart.
- 16S
- 200A cont.
- DroneCAN

- Short-circuit protected
DroneCAN Telemetry
Voltage and current measurement streamed over UAVCAN / DroneCAN — EM-noise immunity through the CAN bus.
ESC Control + Power
Dedicated PWM output with ESC telemetry pins (GND, TELEM, PWM, OFF) and VBAT power for the ESC, DSHOT or PWM.
Remote ESC OFF
Sends an OFF signal to shut down a DC-DC ESC for safe ground handling (confirm support with the ESC maker).
