# PM07 Quick Start Guide
The PM07 serves the purpose of a Power Module as well as a Power Distribution Board. It supplies regulated 5.2V to the flight controller from the battery and provides current consumption and battery voltage measurements via an analog signal through a 6 Pin JST-GH cable, along with integrated ESC power & signal distribution for up to 8 ESCs. It is designed specifically for flight controllers that do not have built-in servo header pins like the Pixhawk 6C & Pixhawk 4. It comes with pre-soldered wires, a capacitor, and an XT60 connector.
To power the flight controller, connect one of the **PWR** ports of PMB to one of the **POWER** ports on the flight controller.

Note that the PM07 does not supply power to the servos via the + and - pins of **FMU PWM-OUT**.

{% hint style="warning" %}
The 5V output on the ADC rail is supplied from the flight controller CAP\&ADC port, not PM07 itself.

Note: CAP & ADC port does not exist in some flight controller

This diagram shows the internally connection of these ports
{% hint style="info" %}
**Note:** If using a plane or rover, the 8-pin power (+) rail of FMU PWM-OUT will need to be separately powered in order to drive servos for rudders, elevons, etc.
To do this, the power rail needs to be connected to a BEC-equipped ESC, a standalone 5V BEC, or a 2S LiPo battery.

**Note:**
* Depending on your airframe type, refer to Airframe Reference to connect the I/O PWM OUT and FMU PWM OUT ports of FC to the PM board.
* MAIN outputs in PX4 firmware map to the I/O PWM OUT port whereas AUX outputs map to FMU PWM OUT. For example,
* MAIN1 maps to IO\_CH1 pin of I/O PWM OUT and AUX1 maps to FMU\_CH1 pin of FMU PWM OUT. FMU PWM-IN of PM board is internally connected to FMU PWM-OUT, which is used to drive servos (e.g. aileron, elevator, rudder, elevon, gear, flaps, gimbal, steering). I/O PWM-IN of the PM board is internally connected to M1-8, which is used to drive motors (e.g. throttle in Plane, VTOL, and Rover).

The following table summarizes how to connect your Flight Controller's PWM OUT ports to PMB’s PWM-IN ports, depending on the PX4 Airframe Reference. You can find this reference online in the PX4 User Guide.
| **PX4 Airframe Reference** | **Connection between *****FC***** --> PM07** |
| -------------------------- | ------------------------------------------------------ |
| **MAIN**: motor | I/O PWM OUT --> I/O PWM IN |
| **MAIN**: servo | I/O PWM OUT --> FMU PWM IN |
| **AUX**: motor | FMU PWM OUT --> I/O PWM IN |
| **AUX**: servo | FMU PWM OUT --> FMU PWM IN |
The pinout of Pixhawk 4 & 6C ’s power ports is shown below. The CURRENT signal should carry an analog voltage from 0-3.3V for 0-120A as default. The VOLTAGE signal should carry an analog voltage from 0-3.3V for 0-60A as default. The VCC lines have to offer at least 3A continuous and should default to 5.1V. A lower voltage of 5V is still acceptable but not recommended.
**Power 1, Power 2 port**
| **Pin** | **Signal** | **Volt** |
| ------- | ---------- | -------- |
| 1(red) | VCC | +5V |
| 2(blk) | VCC | +5V |
| 3(blk) | CURRENT | +3.3V |
| 4(blk) | VOLTAGE | +3.3V |
| 5(blk) | GND | GND |
| 6(blk) | GND | GND |
**Specifications：**
* PCB Cont. Current Rating: 90A PCB
* Burst Current Rating: 140A (<60 Sec)
* Max Current Sensing: 120A
* 5V Output current:3A
* Input battery: 2\~12S
**Mechanical Specifications:**
* Dimensions:68\*50\*10 mm
* Mounting Holes:45\*45mm

**Current Rating**
The XT60 plug and 12AWG wire that PM07 comes with is rated for 30A continuous current
and 60A instantaneous current (<1 minute). If a higher current is being used, the plug type and wire size should be changed accordingly. Refer to [connector-and-wire-rating](https://docs.holybro.com/power-module-and-pdb/power-module/connector-and-wire-rating "mention")
