Vehicle charging controllers

CHARX control vehicle is a stand-alone vehicle charging controller (EVCC) that enables DC charging via CCS charging inlets. The controller handles high-level communication (TCP/IP) via Powerline (PLC) between the DC charging station and the electric vehicle. It controls the locking actuator, temperature sensors and optional LED status indicator, start/stop function, and HV contactors.

Automotive cybersecurity Prepared for UN regulations R155 and R156

The two UNECE regulations R155 and R156, which apply worldwide, define uniform conditions for cybersecurity in vehicles and for a corresponding management system:

UN R155 focuses on the application of a certified cybersecurity management system (CSMS).
UN R156 requires a software update management system (SUMS).

Our vehicle charging controller CHARX control vehicle is prepared for compliance with both the UN R155 and UN R156 regulations in the overall cybersecurity concept of the vehicle.

Onboard charger (OBC)

The onboard charger (OBC) acts as the link between the high-voltage battery of the electric vehicle and the AC charging infrastructure during the AC charging process. The incoming alternating current (AC) is converted into direct current (DC) in accordance with the requirements of the battery management system (BMS) and the charging process is monitored. The vehicle charging controller forwards pulse width modulation (PWM) for the AC charging process to the VCU-controlled OBC.

Vehicle control unit (VCU)

The vehicle control unit (VCU) is the central control device of the electric vehicle, which manages the most important subsystems in the vehicle. A 30-pos. Cinch connector transmits data between the vehicle charging controller (EVCC) and the VCU via the CAN bus protocol. All relevant data for the charging process is converted to CAN bus by the EVCC and transmitted to the VCU.

DC switch box

The DC switch box, also called the DC junction box, contains HV fuses and HV contactors. It is used to safely discharge currents in the event of a fault or overload. As an option, the HV contactors of the box can be controlled by the vehicle charging controller.

CCS vehicle charging inlet
CHARX connect universal

In addition to the signal lines of the CCS vehicle charging inlet (CP, PP, temperature sensors), the locking actuator, optional cancel charging button, and LED indicator are also connected to the vehicle charging controller via a Cinch connector. High-level communication (TCP/IP) is performed via Powerline communication (PLC) via the CP cable.

Traction battery

The traction battery supplies the electric motor with the energy required for propulsion. The battery management system (BMS) monitors the individual cells of the battery.

Battery management system (BMS)
and power distribution unit (PDU)

The battery management (BMS) is used to monitor the traction battery in order to ensure optimum performance and service life. The voltage, temperature, current, and charging status are continuously checked. The power distribution unit (PDU) performs the task of distributing the power in electric utility vehicles. CHARX control vehicle is not connected directly to the BMS or PDU.

Electric motor

The electric motor converts electrical power from the traction battery into mechanical power. In addition, it recovers energy during braking and downhill driving, which is used to charge the traction battery (recuperation). It therefore also acts as a power generator.
