E-Car (Simulation)

Require: IP-Symcon >= 6.0

The electric car simulates the charging process of an electric car.

range of functions

  • Simulates the charging process via a wallbox
  • Simulates a charging process with specified power in a simplified manner

software installation

  • Install the 'Virtual Devices' module via the Module Store

Setting up the instances in IP-Symcon

Under 'Add instance' the 'E-Auto (Simulation)' module can be found using the quick filter.

Configuration page:

name description
Mode Options: 'Simple', in which only the power is specified. 'Wallbox', with extensive configuration to simulate the charging process at a wallbox
Variance Specification of how much the consumption should fluctuate
Interval Time between updates

Mode: Simple

Name Description
Power Maximum power needed

Mode: Wallbox

Name Description
Phases How many phases the wallbox charges over
Split the phases into individual variables (simulates the Alfen Wallbox) Split the phases into individual variables
Minimum current (per phase) Minimum current per phase
Maximum current (per phase) Maximum current per phase

status variables

The status variables/categories are created automatically. Deleting individual ones can lead to malfunctions.

status variables

Name Type Description
Status Boolean Staus, whether the loading process is currently running
Intensity Integer Available in Simpel mode and switches the intensity of consumption
Consumption Float Maximum charging power
SoC (current) Integer Current charge level
Power (target) Float Switches the consumption of the charging process
Current Float Available in wallbox mode and switches the current amperage of the phases. Can be divided into several variables
