Our AC charging controllers control and monitor the mode 3 charging of electric vehicles in accordance with IEC 61851-1. The controllers can be configured via a browser or DIP switches and have RS-485 and Ethernet interfaces for communication with energy meters and energy management systems. Optional functions include a 3G modem, RFID user authorization, DC residual current monitoring, and automatic charging connector release in the event of power failure.

Your advantages

Standard-compliant AC charging in accordance with IEC 61851-1, SAE J1772, and GB/T 20234
High flexibility with extensive configuration options
Easy implementation of intelligent charging infrastructures with charging management
Easy integration into management systems, thanks to standardized communication interfaces
Developed and produced in accordance with the IATF 16949 automotive standard and ISO 9001

From a single charging point through to networked charging infrastructure

Phoenix Contact charging controllers are operated both autonomously and in networks. Status data is acquired via the integrated communication interfaces, and controlled intervention in the charging process is supported. Here, we focus on the use of standardized communication interfaces and protocols, therefore providing easy connection options to a variety of automation systems.

EV Charge Control Basic for private applications

EV Charge Control Basic charging controller as a coated PCB and in a DIN rail housing

This product is a compact, cost-effective controller solution specifically for simple charging points. The charging controller is available as a DIN rail device, but also as a coated PCB for harsh environments. An additional version with pluggable Push-in connection technology is available for compact and quick installation.

Application example: single charging point

Setup of a single AC charging point

The Basic AC charging controller can be used to install single charging stations with just a few components quickly – whether at home or in a commercial environment. Thanks to the optional connection of RCM modules for residual current detection, you can increase the voltage protection level of the charging station in accordance with normative specifications. Maximum system availability is thereby achieved.

EV Charge Control Advanced for commercial applications

EV Charge Control Advanced charging controller in a DIN rail housing

This charging controller integrates all the necessary control functions for commercial charging points and features comprehensive configuration options via DIP switch. Furthermore, it supports load and energy management on company premises and in parking lots, thanks to its Ethernet interface. Energy meters can also be integrated via the RS-485 interface.

Application example: networked charging points

Three networked charging points with energy meters and superordinate controller

The configurable RS-485 interface can be used to connect various energy meters to the Advanced AC charging controller, making it possible to record the charging point performance data. Using the integrated Ethernet interface, you can configure the charging controller as well as establish an intelligent connection to superordinate control systems.

EV Charge Control Advanced Plus for public applications

EV Charge Control Advanced Plus charging controller in a DIN rail housing with optional 3G modem

This charging controller combines all relevant control, communication, and monitoring functions in one compact housing. Along with Ethernet and RS-485 interfaces, the controller features DC residual current monitoring, an automatic connector release mechanism in the event of voltage failure, convenient user authorization via RFID, and convenient configuration via web interface. It is also available with an OCPP-cable 3G cellular interface as an option.

Application example: charging point with backend integration

Charging point with energy meter and cloud-based billing via cellular network

As an option, the Advanced Plus charging controller is available with an integrated 3G modem and OCPP interface. This enables you to link a charging station to cloud-based billing systems via cellular network and OCPP. An MID energy meter can be integrated into the application for precise billing. This makes the controller an ideal solution for public applications.
