Practical Know-How for Communication Systems
Understand EV charging communication from the signal level to protocol logic.
This online training provides a detailed introduction to the key charging communication standards:
IEC 61851, DIN 70121, ISO 15118-2 and ISO 15118-20.
Designed for developers, engineers, and product managers, the session combines theory with hands-on practice to help you better understand charging communication.
Total Duration: 3 hours (online)
✓ Basic principles of EVSE-to-EV communication
✓ CP (Control Pilot) and PP (Proximity Pilot) signal behavior
✓ Electrical wiring of CP, PP, and PE
✓ Overview of charging plug types (e.g. Type 1, Type 2, CCS)
✓ When and how to use IEC 61851, DIN 70121, or ISO 15118
✓ Key features and differences between the protocols
Bring your questions and we’ll dive into your specific challenges and system requirements.
Using our hardware setup, we guide you through:
✓ Preparing controllers for a simulated charging session
✓ Recording and capturing CAN and PCAP (PLC) traces
✓ Joint analysis of the trace files to identify communication flow
You’ll receive a full slide deck from the session to review the content at your own pace afterwards.
By the end of the Workshop, you’ll have:
✓ A solid understanding of the entire communication flow, from physical signals to high-level messaging
✓ Practical skills for analyzing and troubleshooting real-world charging behavior
✓ Clear guidance on choosing the right communication protocols for your system
