INSYS Powerline GP Function SLAC Protocol The modem INSYS Powerline GP implements the SLAC protocol as per ISO/IEC15118-3 for the charging station side (EVSE). Objective of the SLAC proto- col is the association between PEV (Plug-In Electronic Vehicle) and EVSE. Upon successful association, PEV and EVSE will establish an AVLN (AV Logical Network).
INSYS Powerline GP 9.3.1 SLAC Interface The INSYS Powerline GP is able to accept commands via the Ethernet interface. Outgoing messages are also sent via the Ethernet interface. The recipient of out- going messages will be referred to as Higher-level Entity (HLE) in the following.
Page 37
Function 9.3.1.2 Terminating SLAC An existing connection can be terminated in the following ways. The INSYS Powerline GP will cease to participate in any SLAC association and ter- minate a possibly existing connection with the command HC_STOP_LIS- TEN_FOR_SLAC_ASSN.IND.

Page 40
The following status messages are event-based and will be sent to the HLE upon the respective event. The INSYS Powerline GP will inform the HLE that it is ready to perform a SLAC as- sociation with the status message HC_STATUS.IND. Before a SLAC association can be performed, it generates a random NMK (Network Membership Key) and thus sets the access data for the next AVLN.
Page 41
INSYS Powerline GP Function The INSYS Powerline GP informs the HLE that no SLAC association has been achieved with the status message Timeout_TT_EVSE_SLAC_init. It will not respond on any SLAC requests following this timeout. Figure 11: Sequence diagram: Status message Timeout_TT_EVSE_SLAC_init...
