The Charge Control Y (CCY) is a new controller from chargebyte specifically designed for Megawatt Charging System (MCS) stations. It is suitable for both new infrastructure projects and the retrofitting of existing charging sites. The device is built for continuous use in demanding environments like ports, logistics centers, and truck stops.
The hardware features an IP65-rated housing with five waterproof M12 connectors and operates in temperatures ranging from -40 to +70 degrees Celsius. It includes reinforced galvanic isolation compliant with IEC 60664-1, capable of withstanding 1 500 V DC for 60 seconds to protect internal components from high-voltage faults.
Safety is managed by a Renesas RA2E1 processor, which monitors emergency shutdowns and signal outputs. The system is certified to Safety Integrity Level 1 under IEC 61508. Additionally, the controller utilizes up to four PT1000 sensors to monitor temperatures in the cooling system and power electronics, automatically reducing power if limits are exceeded.
Technically, the CCY is powered by an NXP i.MX93 dual-core processor running at up to 1.7 GHz, supported by 1 GB of RAM and 8 GB of eMMC storage. It runs on the open-source EVerest charging stack and supports industry standards including IEC 61851-23-3, ISO 15118-20, Plug & Charge, and OCPP 2.1.
