Overview

EV and Charger Emulator

ADVANTICS charge controller emulator that generates real hardware signals, including CP, PP and PLC for CCS, and CE, ID, and 10Base-TIS for MCS to simulate. A complete charge communication session.

All signals, state transitions, and message exchanges are exposed in real time through a browser-based interface. No proprietary software or additional licenses are required. Connection and disconnection sequences can be triggered manually via button or switch to step through the charge process or reproduce specific fault conditions.

Simply plug in, open a browser, and start debugging.

Built on Production Protocol Stacks

The emulator runs the same communication stacks as ADVANTICS charge controllers, validated across CharIN interoperability events and deployed in 150+ customer programmes. The protocol behaviour you see during development and testing matches what you will get in the field.
