ComboCS the CCS Test System

ComboCS is a simulation and testing tool for ISO 15118 and DIN 70121 communication. We offer two models that simulate either a vehicle or a charging station. They support: all AC and DC charge types, Smart Charging, V2G, EIM and Plug&Charge (PnC) payment methods.
The ComboCS tool is dedicated to the communication layer validation: IEC 61851-1, PLC low layers (ISO 15118-3 & DIN 70121), and applicative layers (ISO 15118-2, ISO 15118-20 & DIN 70121).

The ComboCS full version provides advanced charging simulation, interoperability tests, conformance tests (ISO 15118-4, DIN 71122) and other analysis tools.

The light version, ComboCS4M, is focused on charging simulation only. (see below)

Charging sessions are done without any power transfer, but an interface exists to connect your own power bench to test under real conditions.

To debug, test and validate an ISO 15118 or DIN 70121 implementation, the ComboCS tool offers several modes as can be seen below:

TRIALOG COMBOCS

Trialog is working on EV charge since more than 10 years and had several opportunities to develop a strong expertise on EV charge protocols like IEC 61851, DIN 70121, ISO 15118,...

In this context, Trialog has developed ComboCS: a CCS test and validation tool.

SIMULATOR MODE

ComboCS, the CCS simulator is able to simulate either an EV or EVSE (Depends of the ComboCS model) part of a CCS implementation in order to simulate a charging session following IEC 61851-1, DIN 70121 and/or ISO/IEC 15118.

SUPERVISOR MODE

ComboCS is provided with a web interface compatible with Windows, Linux and Mac, accessible over Ethernet or Wifi. It provide access to real-time evolution of the ongoing CCS communication.

TEST CASE MODE

The test case mode of ComboCS triggers CCS communication session for a list of nominal and non-nominal predifined cases :
Conformance tests defined by ISO 15118-4, ISO 15118-5 and DIN 70122 and interoperability tests developped by Trialog.

EXPERT MODE

The expert mode provide means to modify at anytime the nominal behavior of the ComboCS before or during the charging loop.

HTTP CONTROL API

The ComboCS is provided with an HTTP API interface so that you may programmatically control your device. These APIs will allow you to modify the behaviour of the ComboCS, adapt its charging limits and targets, and perform actions like Unplug/Plug/Start/Stop and more. Thanks to this API you can even script your own test cases to fit your specific needs (dependent on configuration and model).

OCPP 1.6 & 2.0.1

The EVSE version of the ComboCS can be equipped with our OCPP stack (QOCPP-CS). This option exists so that you can test, with a physical device, a full charging station simulator with the latest communication protocols. With option you can test both OCPP 1.6-J and OCPP 2.0.1.
For more details consult the datasheet here

ISO 15118-20 V2G

The ComboCS can be equipped with the latest ISO 15118-20 communication protocol. It supports both AC and DC including the BPT (aka V2G) features. This option will allow you to verify and accelerate the development of your implementation of this new standard.
For more details consult the ComboCS datasheet EV / EVSE

PASSIVE SNIFFER

The sniffer is a stand alone device that allows you to passively listen in on a HomePlug GreenPHY PLC communication. It is typically used to sniff DIN 70121, ISO 15118-2 or ISO 15118-20 PLC communications.
For more details consult the ComboCS datasheet EV / EVSE

In addition we can provide training sessions on the use of the ComboCS, CCS or OCPP.
