The CC613 is the next-generation intelligent charge controller. Just like its predecessor CC612, the CC613 is the brain of an intelligent charging station: It communicates with the vehicle and the backend, monitors the internal hardware of the charging system, the user interfaces as well as the connection between the charging station and the vehicle.

The new CC613 charge controller generation further extends the range of functions of Bender charge controllers. A modified enclosure design integrates an Ethernet interface, which now makes the use of a USB Ethernet adapter no longer necessary. Despite the modified shape of the enclosure, the dimensions of the CC613 are the same as those of the CC612, making it easy to fit into existing charging stations.

The CC613 also features Powerline Communication (PLC) according to ISO 15118 for the implementation of plug & charge as well as DC fault current detection with an externally connected current transformer. In addition, free software updates will be available to extend the functions.

The charge controller features a further developed integrated dynamic load management (DLM), which can also be controlled by a higher-level system. This allows larger charging infrastructures to be managed either locally via the controller or by an existing building management system.

Additional monitoring – increased electrical safety

The CC613 now also has an integrated emergency opener so that, in the event of a power failure of the charging station, the plug can be removed from the vehicle or charging station without having to integrate an additional component in the charging station. This saves space and thus allows the CC613 to be installed in small and compact wallboxes.

To increase protection against electric shock, the CC613 provides PE monitoring, in which the connectivity of the PE connection is regularly monitored. Furthermore, the CC613 offers an integrated weld check detection, which outputs an error message in case of a "welded" contactor or load switch.

The software for controlling all processes of the charge controller can be updated. This makes the CC613 future-proof. Updates (typically quarterly) can be easily installed via USB, Ethernet or over-the-air (OTA).
