Latest Electric Cars and Automated Charging Stations
CAN is a commonly used communication protocol in the automotive industry. Electric vehicles can communicate with charging stations through Wi-Fi converters such as CAN to I-7540D-WF. Serial-to-Wi-Fi converters such as M2M-711D can enable charge pumps to communicate with electric vehicles. Cellular modems such as GTM-201-3GWA can make the charge pump communicate back to the central location and can report pump usage or pump problems.
CAN converters allow vehicles to communicate with different types of devices and networks. They converted the CAN protocol into another protocol that other devices and networks can understand. I-7540D-WF is a CAN to Wi-Fi converter, which supports CAN data wireless transmission between various CAN networks, or allows communication between CAN networks and WLAN networks according to the 802.11b/g standard. CAN converters such as I-7540D-WF are set up through software utilities, support encryption, and can be used in point-to-point or point-to-multipoint topologies.
The serial to Wi-Fi converter allows the pump station to communicate with the electric vehicle by allowing serial data to communicate with the WLAN network. M2M-711D supports data tunnel transmission between two RS-485 or RS-422 serial devices through a virtual COM port. They support wireless transmission distances of up to 100 meters, support encryption and set up through software utilities.
Cellular modems such as GTM-201-3GWA allow pump stations to report to a central server. Pump and alarm data can be collected and stored for analysis. They can also allow charging stations to send SMS text messages to electric vehicle operators when the vehicle is fully charged. GTM-201-3GWA supports 850/900/1800/1900 Mhz and 3G networks.
