Introduction

Thank you very much for your trust. We are happy that you have chosen our Charge Control platform to operate your eMobility charging solution. This User Guide will help you to understand all features of our product and configure them properly to fit your and your customer’s requirements best.

Product Description

Charge Control C is an IEC 61851 and ISO 15118 compliant charging controller for Electric Vehicle Supply Equipment (EVSE). For communication between EVSE and PEV it supports Control Pilot, Proximity Pilot as well as PWM signaling including Green PHY communication.

The board is also capable of controlling and sensing different kind of actuators and sensors like LED, relays, contactors and RCDs through its digital I/Os. It comes with the standard interfaces to be connected to electric meters, RFID devices and different kinds of actuators and sensors.

Charge Control C is provided with a Linux-Yocto operating system. The installed software is based on EVerest, an open source software stack for EV charging infrastructure. EVerest itself is based on a modular architecture that allows scalability according to your needs e.g., adding your own application as an EVerest module. For more information about EVerest, please visit the EVerest GitHub project.

Safety Notes

Warning

Read the following safety instructions carefully and clearly prior to the assembly and use of the device. Please keep these safety instructions for future reference.

  • attention The installation and assembly may only be carried out by a qualified electrician!

  • attention This device, which is supplied with mains power, has to be secured by means of a max. B6A circuit breaker. In case of a multi-phase connection, such a circuit breaker has to be provided for each connected outer conductor. These circuit breakers are to be installed directly next to each other.

  • WARNING! This device is connected to mains power and hazardous voltages which are not covered. Hazardous voltages must be covered inside the charging station to prevent electrical shocks.

  • Attention! Make sure that the device is not exposed to heat sources which may lead to overheating. Charge Control C can be damaged in case of overheating.

  • Attention! The device may only be connected in the range of overvoltage category 3 or lower. Operating Charge Control C in a higher category can damage the device.

  • Attention! Ensure adequate ventilation at the site of installation. Charge Control C can be damaged in case of overheating.

  • Attention! Do not operate the device in supply networks which do not comply with the specifications on the type plate. Operating Charge Control C in networks not compatible with the specifications on the type plate can damage the device.

  • Attention! The device may only be installed in dry areas. Exposing Charge Control C to wetness can damage the device.

  • This device is designed for installation on DIN rails which provide fire protection as per DIN EN 60950-1.
