Powerline communication for electric mobility: in-tech smart charging GmbH, a 100% subsidiary of in-tech GmbH, launches a new charge controller: Charge Module S is specially designed for in-vehicle use and is based on a slim and powerful embedded architecture. Its compact size and automotive-compatible hardware make the module ideal for in-vehicle use. Car manufacturers can integrate the module into their own charging hardware to create a powerful solution optimized for automotive applications.

in-tech smart charging specializes in products for powerline communication - from individual communication modules to ready-to-use systems. The powerline products are used in electric vehicles and charging stations, for building automation and in a variety of other applications.

The new Charge Module S can be integrated directly into the vehicle control unit (VCU) of the electric vehicle to control the charging process. It is connected to the vehicle control unit via SPI or CAN. In addition, Charge Module S can also be used in charging stations, for example, if space is limited. The module can also be used on both sides by vehicle manufacturers who wish to offer their own charging infrastructure.

Just like the other products from in-tech smart charging, Charge Module S supports all common features such as Plug and Charge or bidirectional charging. With the standards ISO15118/DIN70121 for DC charging and IEC61851 and ISO15118 for AC applications the module meets all current standards. "Charge Module S uses our V2G software stack on an embedded platform and is optimally suited for automotive applications thanks to its small footprint", explains Thomas Wagner, Managing Director of in-tech smart charging GmbH.

Charge Module S is now available for pre-order as a developer sample and will be available in Q4. For customers looking for a complete solution, in-tech smart charging will also be launching a ready-to-use charge controller for electric vehicles at the end of the year.
