Introduction 1:Fig.4: EL6761 - 1-channel communication interface, ISO 15118 powerline, charge controller

The EL6761 EtherCAT Terminal enables communication for the charging infrastructure both to the EV (Electric Vehicle) and to the higher-level charging management system.

It supports two completely independent communication standards: PWM communication in accordance with IEC 61851 and powerline communication as stated in ISO 15118. ISO 15118 communication provides a flexible communication channel for transporting all necessary data between the car and the charging station.

In combination with TwinCAT 3 IoT OCPP (TF6771) for communication with higher-level controllers, a complete communication system for charging infrastructure applications is created.
