EVCA product family with communication, mobile and laboratory test systems

EVCA Platform

EVCA: EV Charging Testers for EV and EVSE

comemso EVCA is a configurable EV charging analyzer and simulator. Depending on the selected system, it supports EV testing with a simulated charging station, EVSE testing with a simulated vehicle, or analysis of a real EV–EVSE charging session. Interfaces, power equipment and software scope follow the test task.

Commissioning or servicing installed charging stations?

For guided installation and field checks, the Easy Chester workflow connects configured tests with a documented result. Micro supports AC-only tasks; Ultimate adds DC charging tests.

01 Multiple DUT roles

EV, EVSE (electric vehicle supply equipment, or charging station), EVCC (vehicle-side charging communication controller), SECC (station-side charging communication controller), real pair and MCS paths.

02 Multiple physical boundaries

Communication, interface, power, faults, chamber and field.

03 Shared test intelligence

Charging-focused configuration, analysis, automation and evidence.

04 Continuous growth paths

Extend depth without treating every new task as a new test world.

Why it is a platform

The hardware boundary changes. The engineering logic stays connected.

EVCA systems share charging-specific software, reusable workflows and measurements linked to their test conditions.

Shared test-intelligence layer comframe: analysis, simulation, automation and evidence

Exact modules, licences, Test Libraries and interfaces depend on the selected EVCA system and release.

Charging-specific intelligence

Connect protocol states, timing, low-level signals and measured values with normative expectations.

Configurable physical boundary

Control the participant, interface, power level, fault condition, chamber boundary or real charging pair relevant to your test.

Reusable engineering work

Reuse approved configurations, test logic, captured charging behaviour and evidence where the released system supports it.

Six system paths

Choose the EVCA by the boundary you need to control.

Choose by the DUT (device under test) and test boundary. The six paths below cover controller communication, real-pair analysis, portable testing, laboratory power, MCS and EMC.

Growth architecture

Keep the core. Expand your test system.

The EVCA core is the brain of the system. In a compatible expansion, your existing core moves into a larger EVCA body, while comframe keeps the workflow and test logic connected.

Platform FAQ

Clarify the selection logic before configuring the system.

Is EVCA one physical device?

No. EVCA is a platform family with several physical system paths. Each path controls a different charging boundary while applicable systems share charging-focused software, capabilities and engineering logic.

Which EVCA system should be selected first?

Start with the DUT and physical boundary. Select ComOnly for controller communication, Interop for a real EV-to-EVSE pair, Multi Mobile for portable multi-role work, Flex for laboratory power and faults, MCS for megawatt charging or EMC Link for the chamber boundary.

Can an EVCA configuration grow later?

Yes, where the hardware generation, interfaces, licences, Test Libraries and project architecture allow it. The reviewed upgrade or migration path is authoritative for the concrete system.

Does every EVCA contain every capability?

No. Capability availability depends on the selected product, charging standard, role, software modules, licences, Test Libraries, interfaces and released configuration.
