PortGuard
USER MANUAL
BASIC PURPOSE
PortGuard is an electric vehicle charging control unit
communicating with electric vehicles in accordance
with the CNS EN 61851-1 standard. This unit is
installed in electric vehicle charging stations, usually
for Mennekes Type 2 sockets. The PortGuard charging
control unit is used for setting the required charging
station parameters, indicating the charging station
status and checking the service and additional
devices to ensure safe charging of electric vehicles.
When installed within the VoltGuard charging
infrastructure system, the PortGuard charging control
unit is used as the final action element of the electric
vehicle charging system processing information
transferred from the HomeGuard residual capacity
meter through the serial line and dynamically setting
the consumption parameters. It is capable of setting
the charging current exactly according to the current
available at the point of supply (at the distribution
meter). The communication between the HomeGuard
residual capacity meter and the PortGuard charging
control unit can also be done by means of RS485 twisted pair bus, however, such a cable is usually not installed
between the input of the power supply point and the charging station. In case the installation uses the ShiftGuard PLC
modems, the charging stations can be placed anywhere after the distribution meter.
