We are proud to present the world’s first pre-certified charging controller for the Hubject Plug&Charge ecosystem. With our new controller, which can also be installed as an upgrade to our existing series, we enable charging station manufacturers to support current and future requirements in a cost-effective and flexible way. The development of the controller was part of the Energy ECS project, which runs until the end of 2024 and involves many industry and research partners from all over Europe.
Our CP-ISO controller can control up to two AC charging points simultaneously with IEC 61851-1 and ISO 15118-2, has Ethernet, BLE, WiFi and optional integrated LTE as well as a wide range of connection options for meters and other devices. Meters that comply with German calibration law are also supported.
The operating software supports both OCPP 1.6j and 2.0.1 and, together with Plug&Charge, has unique features. A software update will be available in mid-2024, which will also support the ISO 15118-20 required for V2G for AC and, in a hardware variant with CAN bus, also DC charging.
Manufacturer independence, continuous in-house development of functionality and particularly fast adaptability to customer requirements are our strengths. We not only test in the laboratory, but also with the leading backends and vehicle manufacturers, thus ensuring the high quality and interoperability of our controllers. This is proven by over 35,000 charging points that are operated with controllers from aixACCT throughout Europe. The Aachen-based company Elexon will be the first manufacturer of charging stations to use our controller.
Many thanks to the team at aixACCT and Hubject for this achievement!
