3.2 Software architecture
The KeContact M10 system contains the following main software components.
Load Manager:
The load manager has the following responsibilities:

Controls and coordinates charging sessions for several vehicles on the separate charging stations
(PDCs).

Is offering WEB services for the vehicle manager. These services allow the vehicle manager to initi-
ate, start / stop charging sessions and other activities in response to the according requests of an
electric vehicle using high-level communication.

All necessary activities and events that occur on the different charging stations (sockets) are man-
aged and controlled by the socket manager (PDC manager). This way the socket manager assists
the load manager in managing the separate charging sessions.

The load manager gathers the different information of the separate charging sessions, the used
PDCs and the vehicle information and forwards those data to the charge point manager.

Charge Point Manager:
The charge point manager has the following responsibilities:

Manages the available power and assigns it to the PDCs (for Mode 3 charging) and to electric vehi-
cles (for charging controlled by high-level communication).

Manages the HTML user interface for monitoring (status and current transactions) and entry of con-
figuration data. Access to the monitoring pages of the charge point manager is allowed to anybody
