SL1300A Test Case Library Charging Discover

Perform Conformance and Interoperability Testing with Test Suites

The Scienlab Charging Discovery System (CDS) from Keysight enables users to easily define, compile and execute custom test routines.1 In addition, Keysight provides complete test case libraries for all important charging conformance and interoperability standards. Each library is developed according to official specifications and carefully verified with all CDS hardware configurations and every software release version. Hence, it is the quickest and most simple way to get valid test results out of the box.

This datasheet gives an overview of all currently available test case bundles driven by Scienlab Charging Discover software and explains its content. Each library is based on a national or international standard that specifies a certain number of concrete test cases with a detailed description of test actions and the expected behavior.

Furthermore, this datasheet also contains KeysightCare Software support subscription options (see items R-W6W-001-x) which are recommended, because frequent updates of all test case packages are expected due to partially incomplete/immature specifications.

System prerequisites for the operating PC 

The operating PC should fulfill the following requirements:

Use Cases

It is important to mention, that the following test case packages have different test objectives. Some are focused entirely on protocol tests, others are designed to test electrical safety and performance. Thus, some test cases can be executed on simple hardware without restrictions, while other more systemrelated test cases require an extended hardware setup including power source/load. Perform the following main use cases covered by the Keysight Scienlab Test Case Library Charging Discover.

Use case 1: Component test of EVSE (SECC) or EV (EVCC)

In the case of testing the charging communication controller of an EVSE or EV only, all protocol test cases can be executed by using the minimum CDS configuration. Only the real-time computer plug-in unit and the according communication modules (for PLC or CAN interfaces) are required.

Use case 2: Full system test of EVSE or EV

When testing the charging interface of the entire product, an extended setup with an HV module and EVSE plug-in adapter (for the EVSE test) or charging adapters (for the EV test) is required for contacting the Device under Test (DUT). In addition, a suitable AC or DC power load (for the EVSE test) or source (for the EV test) must be provided to run through the entire charging sequence and reach all desired test steps.
