Solutions for machine manufactures and system integrators such as communication devices, software and smart battery charging tools
CAN – Bluetooth Interface
The “CAN – Bluetooth Interface” add-on allows the EPC series converter to provide information locally to a mobile phone through a free custom app.
The “CAN – Bluetooth” device is normally used in support operations where the maintenance operator must monitor the behavior of the EPC converter without direct access to the machine. A custom app has been developed to connect to the device and log/extract all the necessary information.
CAN – CANopen Interface
The “CANopen interface” simplify the tasks of integrators making easy the installation of any EPC series converter. “Plug and Play” with CANopen.
The “CANopen interface” expands the embedded communication protocols of EPC series converter with the CANopen functionality (CiA 301 and CiA 453). It is only available for current control modes
CAN – CANopen LIFT Interface
CANopen LIFT is the universal solution for elevator control and all network elements. The P2S product has been included, with the name of “Intelligent Power Supply Unit”, as a new Virtual Device Function in the CANopen Lift Protocol (CiA 417).
The intelligent power supply manages the energy of the lift allowing to use the lift in case of power failure during several trips and improving the energy balance of the lift by storing brake energy. Now with the “CAN – CANopen LIFT Interface” the solutions for elevators are easier to integrate.
CAN – BMS Interface
The “CAN-Battery Management System Interface” is an add-on device to the EPC series converters that communicates through CAN to estimate the state of charge of your battery based on the measurements taken by the EPC converters.
The “CAN-Battery Management System” includes a powerful estimation algorithm trained with the battery under study. The device adapts its internal operations to the real state of the battery to obtain the highest accuracy possible. Any battery can be studied and included in the algorithm when it is charged and discharged with an EPC converter.
Smart Battery Charging Device
The “Smart Battery Charging Device” is an add-on device to the EPC series converters that communicates through CAN to command the charging operation of your battery.
The “Smart Battery Charging Device” integrates a battery charging profile that regulates the different stages of charge needed in any battery. The device supports the charging of any kind of battery (lead-acid, lithium…) that works within the range of operation of the EPC series converter installed. The “Smart Battery Charging Device” ensures the correct charge of the battery, its safety and reliability as the charging operation is done according to the manufacturer recommendations.
CAN – Custom Interface
“CAN – Custom Interface” is intended to integrate the what especial control that our customer need. This device allows to our customers to integrate easily of our bidirectional DC/DC converters in his own application.
The “Custom Interface” gives the possibility of working in a special Autonomous Mode according to the desired specification.
Real Time Device
The “Real Time device” is an add-on device to the EPC series converters used to control and log the main parameters of the DC/DC converters with just a direct cable connection to a computer (off-line). In addition, it can work online to extract as well all the information available and save it to the cloud. That information is easily accessible by the user and allows for remote support, data extraction and logging.
The “Real Time Device” connects your EPC series converters with the cloud to make them accessible from anywhere in the world. The real time logging allows for on-line support and quick problem solving. Also, it can be used to extract information of use behavior, energy used, peak power and errors.

Case studies
AGVs & shuttles (supercapacitor powered)
Bidirectional DC/DC converters applied to shuttles allow energy consumption from supercapacitors and charge from the grid with only one component. Electrified monorails become unnecessary in warehouses.
Logistics – AGVs (battery powered)
Reduction in size, cost and weight in battery powered industrial vehicles through DC/DC converters. DC motors are removed in favour of AC more standard and smaller solutions.
A hybrid powered solution for cranes achieve reductions in fuel consumption, size of generator and braking resistor bank. Energy stored is used by a DC/DC converter to counterweight the power requirements and save the braking energy.
Electronic counterweight and peak shaving can be provided by a bidirectional DC/DC converter-based solution working with batteries and/or supercapacitors.
The use of less power from the grid or the reduction of the overall energy consumption can be achieved with battery and/or supercapacitor powered DC/DC converter-based solutions.
Combine a traditional fuel generator with a battery- powered system based on DC/DC to make a hybrid boat. Charge your batteries from the wind and move the boat freely without the need for it in the harbour.
Off-grid solar panel powered solution to feed hydrogen fuel cells through isolated DC/DC converters. Each converter provides MPPT per solar string to achieve highest efficiency.
Flexible solution for grid-connected hydrogen fuel cells through isolated DC/DC converters. High efficiency, robustness and easy parallelization for infinite combinations of power requirements.
