All-in-one EV charging controller by Phoenix Contact
Phoenix Contact has launched a new AC charging controller that combines all of the control and monitoring functions in one compact housing. Increased functionality such as RFID authorisation allows for semi-public and commercial applications.
Phoenix Contact has launched its latest AC charging controller in accordance with IEC-61851-1. Furthermore, the controller includes a DC residual current monitoring system, so that the controller is automatically reset when residual currents arise, thus increasing the availability of the charging station.
An automatic vehicle connector unlocking system is also included. Add to that user authorisation via RFID, either via a local white list or backend connection and it becomes clear that this charger is made for semi-public installations although it can also be included in a wallbox at home.
The Ethernet interface enables users to monitor and control their charging point remotely via Modbus/TCP. As an option, the AC charging controller is also available with an integrated 3G modem and OCPP interface.
