4 Functional Overview

4.1 Power Line Communication

4.1.1 Low Level communication with EVSE
According to [2] and [3] a low-level communication via PWM on the CP pin is supported.
The following PWM duty cycles are valid:
Duty Cycle of CP PWM Description
0% <= DC < 3% No charging allowed
3% <= DC <= 7% Usage of high-level protocol according to ISO
15118 and DIN 70121. Charging without this
high-level protocol is not possible.
7% < DC < 8% No charging allowed
8% < DC < 10% Max current consumption is 6A
10% <= DC <= 85% Available current = Duty Cycle * 0,6A
85% < DC <= 96% Available current = (Duty Cycle – 64) * 2,5A
96% < DC <= 97% Max current consumption is 80A
97% < DC <= 100% No charging allowed
Table 4-1 Low Level Communication – Duty Cycle of CP PWM

4.1.2 AC Charging with Low Level Communication

With the low-level communication, AC charging can be performed in the following sequence:
> Lock coupler after plugged into inlet
> Establish communication to EVSE via CP
> Get charging clearance from vehicle
> Start charging
> Continuous monitoring of charging progress
> Vehicle state monitoring; Stop button monitoring; Temperature monitoring; EVSE
communication; Self-diagnostic of actuators/sensors
> Stop charging
> Release coupler after a pressed stop button or a CAN signal

Note
For detailed information, please refer to the AC Charging diagram.

based on template version 6.2.0
 Technical Reference VC-VCCU

4.1.3 DC Charging with High Level Communication

According to [1] and [5], high level communication for DC charging is supported. The
supported charging profile is EIM (External Identification Means).

Caution
Plug and Charge is not supported by the VC-VCCU.

The DC charging is done in the following sequence:

> Lock coupler after plugged into inlet
> Get charging clearance from vehicle
> Session setup with EVSE
> Parameter exchange with EVSE (charging mechanism, schedule tables…)
> Isolation measurement with EVSE
> Start pre-charge
> Start charging
> Continuously monitoring of charging progress
> Vehicle state monitoring; Stop button monitoring; Temperature monitoring; EVSE
communication; Self-diagnostic of actuators/sensors
> Stop charging
> Release coupler after a pressed stop button or a CAN-signal

Note
For detailed information, please refer to the DC Charging diagram.
The first schedule table from EVSE will always be accepted on the protocol layer but
ignored in the application (charging will start immediately, independent from the received
schedule table).

4.2 Stop Button

The button is monitored continuously when the VC-VCCU is active. If the button is pressed,
the charging is stopped, the coupler will be unlocked.

© 2021 Vector Informatik GmbH Version 9.4.0 13

based on template version 6.2.0
 Technical Reference VC-VCCU

Caution
The voltage levels at the inlet power supply pins are not checked by the VC-VCCU prior
to unlocking the coupler. This must be done by the other system components and
controlled by the CAN signal which sets the signal
VCVCCU_Vehicle_PlugUnlockPermission.

Please refer to the UserManual_VC-VCCU, chapter 4.5.3. for details.

4.3 StopCharge CAN Signal

The StopCharge CAN Signal is monitored continuously when the VC-VCCU is active and
the feature is activated. If the StopCharge CAN Signal is set to pressed, the charging is
stopped, the coupler will be unlocked. See also warning above.

4.4 Generic switch input

An additional digital input to connect an additional button. Besides, the generic input is used
for the charging arbitration.

4.5 Terminal 15 signal input

If there is the need for a discrete wakeup of the ECU instead of a CAN network wakeup, the
Terminal 15 signal input may be used to wake the ECU and keep it awake.

4.6 Status LEDs

The charging status can be displayed via three LED which can be controlled via CAN
messages by an external ECU. For more details, please refer to the User Manual of the
VCVCCU [4] .

4.7 High Side Outputs

Caution
If the VC-VCCU suffers from an unintentional GND contact loss, the freewheeling diode
inside HSOUT4 may lead to an unexpected flow of current from HSOUT4 via its external
load to GND.
As this may lead to undefined behavior of the external load (e.g. a BMS relay), the
usage of HSOUT4 must be considered with care.
If in doubt, please contact the Vector support.

Three High Side Outputs are available for general purposes which can be controlled via
CAN signals by an external ECU. For more details, please refer to the User Manual of the
VC-VCCU [4].

 Technical Reference VC-VCCU

4.8 Reprogramming of the ECU Software

Reprogramming will be done via diagnostic CAN (CAN0). Therefore, the UDS protocol will
be used. The following reprogramming features are supported: Download of one logic
block of application and basic software
> Download of one logic block of Ethernet transceiver firmware
> Pipelined programming
> Pipelined verification
> Security via CRC (no signature)
> Updater for the flash bootloader itself is not supported

4.9 Self-diagnostics and fault memory

The VC-VCCU continuously monitors all relevant inputs and outputs. The information is
available in the self-diagnostic messages of the outputs.
In addition to that, the self-diagnostic also includes faults during charging or in case of
internal faults.
Furthermore, the VC-VCCU includes a fault memory which is able to store several DTCs.

4.10 ECU state handling

An ECU wakeup is performed due to following reasons:
> Terminal 15 signal
> CAN wakeup
> Stop button pressed
> Vehicle coupler connected
> Control Pilot Pin active
> Wake up from real time clock

If the ECU is active there are the following awake reasons possible to stay active:
> Terminal 15 signal
> Control Pilot activity
> CAN active
> Active Diagnostic Session
In all other cases, the VC-VCCU will go to sleep.

 Technical Reference VC-VCCU

4.11 Coupler present detection

For the coupler present detection, the proximity pin (PP) or the PWM signal of the control
pilot line (CP) is used.

4.12 Locking / unlocking the Combo2 and Combo1 coupler

The locking / unlocking of the Combo2 and Combo1 coupler is done with a motor, controlled
by an H-Bridge.
The coupler will be locked when:
> A vehicle coupler is detected and
> A CAN lock signal is received
> If the coupler was unlocked but not removed after a certain time
The locking is performed after a specified time the coupler was detected.
The coupler will be unlocked when:
> An unlock message is received on CAN and
> The charging stop button is pressed or
> [in case of Combo1] the S3Switch is pressed or
> The StopCharge CAN Signal is pressed

4.13 Temperature monitoring

The supported Combo2 and Combo1 vehicle inlet has 2 temperature sensors:
> One sensor is used for AC charging
> One sensor is used for DC charging
The VC-VCCU has a third temperature sensor Input which might be used for individual
purposes. The read temperature is not used for the control of the charging.

4.14 Configuration of Software

The VC-VCCU allows configurations of the firmware on the diagnostic channel:
> Baudrate adjustment between 250 kBaud, 500 kBaud and 1 MBaud on the J1939 CAN
> Automatic switch of high side output to wakeup other ECUs
> Configurable message cycle times of several messages
> Transport Layer Security (TLS) for V2G communication and VAS
> Configurable Security Key Constant

 Technical Reference VC-VCCU

4.15 Value Added Services (VAS)

Value added service are additional service which are not part of the V2G communication
and not mandatory for charging. The VC-VCCU supports VAS according to ISO 15118-2 [5]
and VDV 261 [6].

4.16 Charging Arbitration

The charging arbitration enables the operation of two VC-VCCUs on the same CAN channel.
It targets use cases which require two charging inlets (two VC-VCCUs) per vehicle but only
one charging inlet is used for charging at a time.
For charging arbitration, the VC-VCCU provides the following configurations on the
diagnostic channel:
> Configuration of Primary Source Address
> Configuration of Secondary Source Address
> Activation/Deactivation of Charging Arbitration
For more details, please refer to the User Manual of the VC-VCCU [4].
