SL1563A EVSE Charging Test Robot – CARD Swiper

Incorporate Mechanical Actuators in the CCS Test Automation Process

The Keysight SL156XA EV - EVSE Charging Test Robot Series automates Human Machine Interface (HMI) interactions between Keysight’s charging test system and the System Under Test (SUT). The test robots are connected to Keysight’s Combined Charging System (CCS) hardware solution, SL1550A EV - EVSE Charging Communication Interface Tester (Com Tester), and incorporate mechanical actuators for HMI-related interaction patterns in the CCS test automation process. The following types are currently available:

• SL1562A EV - EVSE Charging Test Robot – HMI Actuator (HMI Actuator)

• SL1563A EVSE Charging Test Robot – CARD Swiper (CARD Swiper)

Learn more about the CARD Swiper in this data sheet. For information about the HMI Actuator, please see the corresponding data sheet.

Feature Overview

Benefit from the following features of the CARD Swiper:

• Clamp for RFID card (e.g. credit card format)

• Rotary actuator with a rotation angle of up to 90° 

• Concatenate up to five test robots (e.g. one CARD Swiper and up to four HMI Actuators)

• Robust 5-Pin XLR connectors 

• Robust plastic case

• Compatible with Keysight TTCN-3 Charging Communication Test Automation Software (CCT)

-       Customizable integration of actuation during charging communication testing sequence 

-       Adjustable rotation angle (up to 90°) for each test robot

-       Adjustable timings for each test robot

-       Test calibration of each test robot to simplify the installation of test robots

-       Auto-discovery of test robot type 

-      

• Firmware updates can be applied via the SL1550A 

Front/Rear Panel and Interfaces

The CARD Swiper supports an automatic swiping gesture for RFID cards in order to authenticate a charging process at charging stations under test. The front interface provides a clamp to easily attach an RFID tag in credit card format. The back panel provides the system interface to connect the CARD Swiper to the SL1550A via a 5-pin XLR cable.
