Charging controllers

The EV Charge Controller Advanced charging controller can establish an intelligent connection to control systems via Ethernet and Modbus TCP. The relevant energy and performance data is recorded by the charging controller via a configurable RS-485 interface, Modbus RTU and based on the requirements in accordance with IEC 61851-1. We also supply software modules in accordance with IEC 61851 and OCPP to facilitate communication between vehicles, charging stations, and even back-end systems.

EV Charging Controllers

In addition to our charging systems, we also offer a complete product range for constructing a modern charging infrastructure – from the power supply to the tamper-proof operator interface. Our solution expertise is rounded off by professional consultation and software services.
