Simplified EV charging communication module according to 62196 standard

Charge (pole) Communication module according to IEC 62196 standard (simplified mode 3 protocol) for placement in a vehicle using the simplified charging protocol. The module can be used as a replacement for the previous simplified charge module or the AVC2 charge controller.

This module has multiple functions:

1. Establish communication with a standard charging station using the CP and PP communication pin in the IEC 62196 (mennekens) or J1772 charging plug/charging cord
2. Detection when the charging plug is placed in the vehicle (required for the European R100 inspection). At the moment, a potential free relay is switched to block the vehicle’s driving.
