Perform Seamless Observation of the CCS Communication Channel between EV and EVSE
The Keysight SL1556A CCS Charging Protocol Tracer (CCS Tracer) enables seamless observation of the CCS communication channel between a charging station (EVSE) and an electric vehicle (EV). In combination with SL1487A CCS Charging Protocol Trace Viewer (CPT), the user can analyze the overthe-wire communication traffic, which is communicated via HomePlug Green PHY Powerline Communication (HP GP PLC) on the Control Pilot (CP) Line.
The CCS Tracer integrates a HomePlug Green PHY (HP GP) MAC/PHY according to DIN SPEC 70121:2014 and ISO/IS 15118-3:2015 as well as CP signal detection circuitry for IEC 61851-1:2017 Ed 3. The observed data is available via an Ethernet Bridge. The CCS Tracer provides a non-invasive test interface for direct coupling to the Control Pilot (CP) and Protective Earth (PE) lines. Alternatively, the SL1556A-001 Inductive Cable Clamp also provides an option for inductive coupling, e.g. for field tests between real EVs and EVSEs.

Front/Rear Panel and Interfaces
With the CCS Tracer, you can tap on the charging cable between EV and EVSE via conductive or inductive coupling over the XLR industrial-grade 3-pin female connector on the front panel. The connection to the data logger or test host is provided via a XLR industrial-grade RJ-45 Ethernet socket (100Base-TX). The wide range 6~48 V DC input socket is based on an industrial-grade 3-pin XLR male connector.
Inductive Coupling Unit
The SL1556A-001 Inductive Cable Clamp enables capturing trace files between CCS EV and EVSE.
