chargebyte launches Charge Control Y, an IP65-rated controller for MCS charging stations

Charging communication specialist chargebyte has launched the Charge Control Y (CCY), a charging controller for stations based on the Megawatt Charging System (MCS). It is available now and suits new designs as well as retrofits of existing stations.

The CCY is designed for continuous operation in heavy-duty transport, such as truck depots, ports, logistics centers and truck stops. Its IP65-rated housing protects it against dust and water, and five waterproof M12 connectors secure all connections. The controller operates at ambient temperatures from -40° C to +70° C and up to 95% relative humidity (non-condensing).

Reinforced galvanic isolation designed to meet IEC 60664-1 separates the vehicle interfaces from the charging station’s control system and network. It withstands 1,500 V DC for 60 seconds. If a fault on the charging cable applies high voltage to the signal lines, the isolation is designed to protect the backend, PROFINET and connected components.

A Renesas RA2E1 safety processor monitors the charge enable (CE) and insertion detection (ID) signals, the emergency shutdown and the HV Ready outputs. chargebyte says the safety concept, certified to Safety Integrity Level (SIL) 1 under IEC 61508, reduces the qualification effort for the overall system.

Up to four PT1000 sensors measure temperatures at the DC connector, in the power electronics and in the cooling system. If temperatures get too high, the CCY reduces the charging power or shuts down. Sensor diagnostics detect faulty sensors.

7 GHz. 1. Like chargebyte’s Charge Control V , the CCY is based on the open-source EVerest charging stack.
