Abstract: A diagnostic arrangement (200) for a charging park has plural components and a network arrangement. The components include a central gateway (270), at least one control device (280) and a diagnostic database (290) arranged at the central gateway. The diagnostic database contains files or data for diagnosis of the at least one control device. The network arrangement makes a core network available between the components. The at least one control device is connected via the core network to the central gateway. The network arrangement also has a backend server having a backend database with the same diagnostic information as the diagnostic database of the central gateway and is connected to the central gateway. A database extract (220) provides a list (201) of available diagnostics. The at least one control device has apparatus for diagnosis and/or conveying at least one value (208) regarding at least one status of the control device.

Abstract: A method for charging a traction battery of a vehicle at a stationary charging column includes having the vehicle charging controller register a charging process to the charging column charging controller with a high voltage value of the traction battery as a requested maximum charging voltage. The charging column charging controller then performs an insulation test at an insulation test voltage that corresponds to the requested maximum charging voltage or to the maximum charging column voltage when the latter is lower than the requested maximum charging voltage. The insulation test voltage is measured by a vehicle voltmeter. If the measured insulation test voltage corresponds to the lower voltage value, the vehicle charging controller registers a charging process to the charging column charging controller with the low voltage value as new requested charging voltage and sets the charging voltage adapter to a charging column voltage corresponding to the low voltage value.

Abstract: A method charges a traction battery (42) with a stationary charging column (20). The method includes registering a charging process by the vehicle charging controller (50) to the charging column charging controller (22) with a low voltage value (U1) as a requested charging voltage (UR). The method then controls an insulation test carried out by the charging-column-side insulation tester (26). The method reports the maximum charging column voltage (UL) to the vehicle charging controller (50), and if the reported maximum charging column voltage (UL) corresponds to a high voltage value (U2) higher than the low voltage value (U1): registering a charging process by the vehicle charging controller (50) to the charging column charging controller (22) with the high voltage value (U2) as a requested charging voltage (UR) and setting the charging voltage adapter (44) to a charging voltage (UL) corresponding to the high voltage value (U2).

Abstract: A network arrangement is provided for a charging park for providing IP services to the charging park. The charging park has a plurality of components. The network arrangement comprises a core network, a backend server and a central gateway that is coupled to the core network and to the backend server. The central gateway provides an interface for one or more communication nodes of the core network. The components of the charging park are connected communicatively to one another and to the central gateway via the core network. Each component of the charging park has an associated communication node of the core network, and the components of the charging park can interchange data with the backend server via the central gateway via their respective associated communication nodes and the interfaces associated with the communication nodes. Further, the invention relates to a method for addressing components of the charging park.

Abstract: A method for charging sequence control of a power electronics system, in which a charging power is provided by the power electronics system, in which a charging unit, which is operated by a user and which transfers the charging power to a battery, is controlled by a charging control system. A communication exchange is carried out at least between a control device of the power electronics system and the charging control system, in which a plurality of charging process states are predetermined, in which sequences between the charging process states are stored in a program sequence plan and in which the program sequence plan is used for charging sequence control of the power electronics system. For the event of a fault the charging process states “Not ready to charge” and “Fault in charging process” are predetermined.

Abstract: A method for operating a charging system for charging electric vehicles, wherein the charging system has a charging station and at least two charging columns which are physically separate from one another and each have at least one charging connection.
