Charge controller platform – SIMATIC ET 200SP Open Controller
Siemens charging software applications are based on the SIMATIC ET 200SP Open Controller with an integrated Windows platform and a pre-configured SIMATIC S7-1500 Software Controller with highest security standards. It enables a direct backend connection using OCPP via 3G, USB connections for RFID readers or Profinet for connecting HMIs
AC charge control module – SIMATIC ET 200SP TM ECC 2x PWM ST
Developed on the basis of the SIMATIC ET 200SP, the TM ECC 2x PWM ST charge controller controls the IEC 61851-compliant conductive charging of electric vehicles.
Two charging points can be implemented per module.
DC charge control module – SIMATIC ET 200SP TM ECC PL ST
Developed on the basis of the SIMATIC ET 200SP, the TM ECC PL ST charge controller controls the IEC 61851 and DIN 70121 (ISO 15118) compliant conductive charging of electric vehicles. It enables Powerline Green Phy Communication as defined in DIN SPEC 70121 in combination with a pulse-width-modulated signal in accordance with IEC 61851.
One charging point can be implemented per module.
Power metering – SIMATIC ET 200SP Energy Meter / PAC1600 / PAC2200
The SIMATIC ET 200SP Energy Meter records and continuously stores current and voltage values from the charging session. The values recorded can be used in the module to evaluate the active, reactive, and apparent power ratio. For calibratable metering (e.g. according to German “Eichrecht”) the meter “EDL40+” can be used together with SIMATIC. In addition, for individual charging poles the Siemens SENTRON PAC2200 offers a PCB compliant solution.
Converting DC power for charging – SINAMICS DCP
SINAMICS DCP DC-DC converter is a highly efficient, bidirectional buck-and-boost converter offering scalable performance. It allows current to flow in both directions at variable voltage levels. Thanks to its high internal switching frequency, the SINAMICS DCP is light and compact, so it requires minimal space inside the charge pole or control panel.
CAN-Bus communication for CHAdeMO – SIMATIC PN/CAN Gateway
Combining the SINAMICS DCP with the PN/CAN Gateway makes it possible to implement DC charging solutions using the CAN-based CHAdeMO communication standard. It ensures the connection between PROFINET and CAN. Connected directly via PROFINET, it can be easily commissioned in the TIA Portal.
E-Car driver identification – SIMATIC RFID Reader
With the SIMATIC RF1060R RFID reader (connected via USB), customer identification and charging session authorization can be implemented extremely easily and flexibly. The identification process can utilize existing cards, such as employee IDs or credit cards, which improves user-friendliness and reduce costs.
Touch panel for E-Car drivers – SIMATIC HMI Outdoor Panel
The rugged SIMATIC HMI Panel suitable for outdoor use enables simple and convenient charging control and monitoring. Thanks to the 7- and 15-inch, daylight-readable widescreen displays with automatic or manual dimming, the durable, dazzle-free panels are legible at all times, whether in bright sunlight or darkness.
Communication with backend for billing – SCALANCE Ethernet switch
SCALANCE X Industrial Ethernet switches ensure reliable industrial communication within charging infrastructures and the secure connection of the charging infrastructure to a higher-level network or the Internet for communication with the backend.
