  • Patent number: 10320445
    Abstract: A communication system comprising: a control line transmitting a control signal for controlling charging of a battery mounted on a vehicle; a reference potential line connected to a reference potential of the vehicle serving as a reference for the control signal; a first PLC communication device connected to the control line and the reference potential line and superposing onto the control signal a differential signal having a higher frequency than the control signal so as to perform communication with an external power supply apparatus; and an inductive element which is provided at a point of connection between the reference potential line 1c and the reference potential or provided in the reference potential line and the inductive element having impedance for a noise having a higher frequency than the control signal is higher than the impedance for the control signal.

  • Patent number: 10259328
    Abstract: When connection of a charging gun is detected, a charging-control ECU wakes up, and turns on a power supply relay to activate a charging-communication ECU. The charging-control ECU subsequently actives a power-control computer by communicating therewith. The power-control computer closes an SMR, and closes a power supply switch to activate a monitoring unit. If an abnormality occurs in inband communication, the charging-control ECU opens the power supply relay, instructs the power-control computer to shift into sleep mode, and subsequently shifts itself into sleep mode. The power-control computer opens the SMR and the power supply switch, and subsequently shifts into sleep mode.

  • Publication number: 20160221455
    Abstract: A charging system of an in-vehicle battery (11) is configured to charge the in-vehicle battery with an external charging device (30) capable of performing quick charging. The charging system includes a rainfall information acquiring unit and a controller (15). The rainfall information acquiring unit is configured to acquire rainfall information that is information indicating whether it is raining. The controller is configured to control a charging mode of the in-vehicle battery with the external charging device. Furthermore, the controller is configured to inhibit performing of the quick charging or to reduce an amount of charging current in the quick charging based on the rainfall information, which indicates that it is raining, acquired by the rainfall information acquiring unit.

  • Patent number: 8660149
    Abstract: A data communication network system which enables an intended unit to determine a start point for a transmission schedule in communication is provided. In a data communication network system in which a plurality of electronic control units perform network communication through a communication line based on a time triggered communication protocol, a control section for previously putting the communication line in a communication inhibited state, and canceling the communication inhibited state at a predetermined time is included, and a predetermined one unit among the plurality of electronic control units transmits a message for synchronization, in a communication time, with the other units thereamong immediately after the communication inhibited state is cancelled.
