The charging controller is the central component in electric vehicle charging stations. SIPLUS ECC charging controllers comply with the charging standard IEC 61851 Mode 3.

They perform the following functions:

• Transferring the maximum charging current from the charging station to the electric vehicle
• Detecting the charging cable and its reliable current carrying capacity
• Safety functions
• Evaluating the status signals from the electric vehicle
• Controlling the load tap-off
• Signaling the charging states by means of LEDs

SIPLUS ECC charging controllers are available in various versions:

CM-100

Compact, low-cost charging controller for home charging applications. The versions available cover all the charging currents defined in IEC/EN 61851.

CM-230/CM-230-C standalone versions

These charging controllers with Ethernet connection are used for home and public charging applications. Parameters of the controllers can be changed and current information about the state of the charging operation viewed through the web interface. The built-in sensors on the CM-230 standalone version allow the humidity and temperature to be monitored.

CM230 managed version

This charging controller with Ethernet connection is used for complex public charging applications. The controller is typically used as a separate I/O module in combination with other charging controllers which are integrated through Ethernet in a higher-level control system. The managed version offers greater flexibility for the system integrator/operating company, e.g. individual controlling of free I/O modules.

A function block (FB) is available for linking to SIMATIC controllers.
