This paper presents a novel data link for electric vehicles charged through inductive power transfer (IPT) systems. The data link uses the magnetically coupled coils as transmission medium. The data link is intended to transfer the instantaneous current and voltage values in the power receiving circuitry on the electric vehicle (EV) platform. One key goal is to enable robust and reliable communication for closed-loop operation of the IPT system. By careful system design the data link can be used in the noisy environment of the power transfer. For the communication architecture a fully digital approach is considered. The digital signal processing is done in an industrial controller thus, the data link can be implemented into existing systems with minimum changes. For proof of concept the communication system is connected to a 3kW IPT system and evaluated. These key performance values for simultaneous power transfer and communication will be presented
This paper presents a contactless near field energy and data transfer system, which uses one common pair of coils for both transmission purposes. Though a contactless connector for harsh environments proves an exemplary application, the concept can be adapted to several other applications. The challenge is to transmit the data simultaneously to a large energy signal. The system concept, simulation, as well as measurement results of a hardware demonstrator will be presented in this paper. It will be shown that a robust data transmission system can be realized featuring superior SNR and nearly noise free operation even with a simultaneous energy transfer of several kilowatts
