The IEC documents are based on the CiA 454 application profile series, which has been developed in cooperation with the nonprofit Energybus association. The standardized communication interface enables a manufacturer-independent charging of pedelecs and e-bikes. This is important for public LEV charging, especially in cities and tourist regions. IEC 61851-3-4 specifies the basics including the physical layer (cabling and connectors). IEC 61851-3-5 provides the charging data details to be exchanged between charger and battery. The CiA 454 profile specifies additional interfaces for LEV equipment (e.g. drive unit) and can also be applied to other energy management applications.
