Vector Controllers
Communication ECUs from Vector
Benefit from a complete solution from a single source!
The Vector Controllers are ECUs for specific use cases with the focus on data communication. They are perfect for the rapid development of functional samples and for use in series production. As a vehicle manufacturer, you only pay a share of the development costs of the ECU.
Advantages
- Standard technologies scaled down to small series productions and development samples
- Already qualified hardware for use in vehicles
- Shorter development cycles
- High flexibility and cost optimization for serial production
- Single source supplier for ECU hardware, project and embedded software as well as development tools
Technical Article
Charging by Pantograph
Unlike passenger cars, electrically powered commercial vehicles have special performance requirements: as capital assets, they contribute to revenue generation in the long term. Therefore, they should be in use without a break as far as possible. Charging times must therefore be kept short, which requires high performance. Plug-in charging systems currently reach their limits here, as the transmission power is limited for reasons of cross-section and weight. Pantographs can provide a solution.
Application Areas
Off the Shelf ECUs
The Vector Controllers are perfect for your prototyping and development projects. They are also available in high quantities for test fleets and small series productions. Together with the MICROSAR basic software it forms a complete package with full functionality. The open ECU is also capable to host your individual software.
VC-EVCC
ECU for Inlet Charging (CCS1 and CCS2)
The Vector Controller - Electric Vehicle Communication Controller (VC-EVCC) is a generic charging control unit for 24V environments. It realizes electrical charging according to DIN SPEC 70121 and ISO 15118 for power line communication (PLC). The VC-EVCC provides the perfect interface for prototype vehicles and development environments. It can also be carried over into your series vehicle right away.
VC-EVCC supports inlet charging for charging standard CCS-1 (Combo 1 Inlets) as well as CCS-2 (Combo 2 Inlets). The ECU is therefore compatible for the European as well as the US market. In addition, plug and charge allows easy authentication for electric vehicles.
