EV power error and warning codes

If available, errors are included in the forwarded message inside errors properties. These arrays of strings contain a complete list of keys of errors and warnings resulting from collecting a report. The following table lists all possible error keys together with the key description, what could cause an error/warning, and how to solve it.

phoenix_contact_charx_contactor_errorA contactor error has been detected. The charging controller enters the error state until the contactor error is eliminated. Replace contactor.
phoenix_contact_charx_ev_diode_errorThe PWM signal to the vehicle is not. Test with another vehicle.
phoenix_contact_charx_power_supply_errorInsufficient power supply, the charging controller performs an automatic lock release. Check power supply type. Check cable routing. Ensure supply.
phoenix_contact_charx_residual_current_trippingA residual current was detected, the charging controller interrupts charging and switches to the error state. Check cable routing (especially RCM module), change vehicle.
phoenix_contact_charx_residual_current_sensor_self_test_errorUnable to perform self-test on the residual current safety equipment. Check cable routing to the RCM module. Use another RCM module.

Siemens

KeyDescription
siemens_charger_not_readyThe Siemens charging station is not ready for charging. The charger is ready only when all of the following conditions are met: the charger operation state is running, the main breaker is switched ON, and the safety relay is not activated.
