Simatic charge controller and calibration kit optimize charging technology for eMobility
Siemens offers a new plug & play solution comprising the Simatic ET 200SP TM ECC PL ST and the TM ECC CCS calibration kit, which for the first time enables calibration of the Powerline signal level in line with DC CCS Implementation Guidelines.
When engineering and commissioning charging systems, cable lengths or different material types can lead to attenuation of the signal strength, for example. This often has a negative effect on adherence to standardized Powerline frequency ranges. This results in charging interruptions due to faulty communication between the electric vehicle and the charge controller.
Using the calibration kit, the charging system is calibrated as per CharIN Association recommendations to a transmission power of 75 dBm/Hz with a tolerance of +/- 3dB, which minimizes EMC (electromagnetic compatibility) problems. This ensures robust communication between the vehicle and the charging station.
The CharIN Association is an organization dedicated to the promotion of a global standard charging system for electric vehicles.
