3.6.2 HC controller

The HC controller controls the charging process in a fully
automatically and performs the following functions:
 Communication with Charge APP over WLAN.
 Communication with service interface over WLAN / LAN.
 Analysis of the data from a connected meter.
 Analysis of the monitoring system's data
 Detecting the current-carrying capacity of the charging
cable with resistance coding. Unsuitable charging cables
are rejected.
 It checks that the requirements for proper charging have
been met.
 Querying an external signal (tariff switching).
 It uses the CP contact to communicate with the vehicle.
Using a PWM signal, the charging current upper limit is
transmitted to the vehicle. The ground conductor
connection is checked at the same time.
 Controlling the locking of the charging plug in the
charging socket (for devices with charging socket
Type 2).
 Controlling the charging contactor.
