CuroCon GmbH is an Engineering service provider and automation specialist offering system solutions for measurement / control / regulation tasks, working for the automotive industry - e.g. test bench technology, charging technology for e-vehicles

The charging infrastructure in the employee parking lot was developed 
  • 10 charging stations with common control cabinet - including two high-energy charging stations (DC charging) 
  • Installation is used as a demonstration system to test various technologies

Customer Situation 
  • Solution newly developed, no standardization or norms available 
  • communication between charge controller and vehicle very inhomogeneous 
  • varying among vehicle manufacturers; weights and measures conformant energy measurement, load distribution of energy supply, electromagnetic interference of the line. 
  • Objective: Develop functional solution to offer it on the market
  • SIMATIC ET 200SP with ECC AC & DC charge controllers, energy meter, input/output signals 
  • CPU1512SP 
  • SENTRON circuit breakers and load breakers 
  • SIRIUS contactorsProgramming with TIA Portal - Provision of blocks for the charge controller and detailed documentation have simplified the creation of the solution
"We can optimally employ our expertise thanks to the integration of the Siemens components and integrated engineering. We therefore save about 20% of the engineering overhead from one project to the next."
Michael Wißbach, Managing Director CuroCon GmbH
  • Scalable solution that can be easily adapted to the number and design of charging points 
  • Future functions can be easily integrated due to the modularity 
  • Independent calculation of offers by CuroCon 
  • TIA Portal: 20% engineering savings for follow-up project 
  • DC controller functionality: 30% reduction of commissioning effort
  • Charging with 11 kW and 22 kW AC and High Power DC in one system without charge interruptions
  • Avoidance of load peaks and prioritization during recharging as well as easy payment through OCPP backend connection
  • 20% less engineering effort from project to project +30% shorter commissioning time of the DC controller compared to th
