Point detail

Asymmetric artificial network

Local/private communication lines connected to signal/control ports and lines connected to wired network ports shall be applied to the vehicle through AAN(s).

The various AAN(s) to be used are defined in Appendix 8, clause 5:
-    Clause 5.1 for signal/control port with symmetric lines;
-    Clause 5.2 for wired network port with PLC on power lines;
-    Clause 5.3 for signal/control port with PLC (technology) on control pilot; and
-    Clause 5.4 for signal/control port with control pilot.

The AAN(s) shall be mounted directly on the ground plane. The case of the AAN(s) shall be bonded to the ground plane (ALSE) or connected to the protective earth (OTS, e.g. an earth rod).

The measuring port of each AAN shall be terminated with a 50 Ω load.

If a charging station is used, AAN(s) are not required for the signal/control ports and/or for the wired network ports. The local/private communication lines between the vehicle and the charging station shall be connected to the associated equipment on the charging station side to work as designed. If communication is emulated and if the presence of the AAN prevents proper communication then no AAN should be used
