Bender GmbH & Co. KG has successfully passed the interoperability test with the CLS adapter from PPC (Power Plus Communications AG). Following EEBUS qualification by the Living Lab, the seamless integration of Bender charge controllers via the CLS adapter from PPC has now also been confirmed – including the central use cases MPC (Monitoring of Power Consumption) and LPC (Limiting of Power Consumption).
This EEBUS-based communication enables intelligent and grid-friendly control of charging infrastructure directly at the grid connection point – a decisive step towards implementing the requirements of Section 14a of the German Energy Industry Act (EnWG) and beyond.
