OCPP Client [x150]

This invisible server component is used to connect charging stations that cannot establish their own OCPP connection. The Modbus data of the charging station can be forwarded to an OCPP backend via this client. Only one charging station can be connected per OCPP client.

 

Data points of the component

Name

Type

Function

Backend IP address

Bidirectional

The IP address of the driver can be changed here at runtime.

Diagnosis [Text]

Output

Attention: Diagnostic or debug outputs are only intended for use in the event of an error. Please use only after consultation with the support team! If used, these can significantly affect the performance of the service.

Extended Diagnosis

Input

An ON signal is used to extend the diagnostic output.

Modbus Update Duration [ms]

Output

Output of the time in milliseconds until all registers have been read from the Modbus table.

Modbus update in progress

Output

An on signal is output during the update of the Modbus data. If no update is taking place, this output is off.

Modbus update counter (since start)

Output

Number of successful updates since driver start.

Modbus data

Output

Output of raw data for each read register.

Modbus device status

Output

Indicates whether the device is readable (on signal) or not (off signal).

Modbus device warning

Output

If there are read errors, this output is set to On. No error = Off.

Read out Modbus now

Input

An ON signal at this input triggers a single query of the values. Each additional ON signal triggers a further query.

Modbus Ping Reachability

Output

If the Modbus device can be reached via a ping, an on signal is output.

Modbus Write Duration [ms]

Output

Output of the time in milliseconds how long the write took.

Modbus write running

Output

As long as writing to the Modbus is in progress, an on signal is output.

Modbus connected

Output

Outputs an on signal when a connection to the gateway could be established.

Messages (OCPP) [Text]

Output

Output of the communication with the backend as text.

Driver On/Off

Bidirectional

Switch driver on or off.

Connection status (OCPP)

Output

If there is a connection to the backend, an on signal is output, otherwise an off signal.

 

Properties of the component

Name

Standard

Function

Channels

51

The Modbus register table of the charging station is located here. The register addresses of the charging station must be entered here. Registers with address 65535 are not used.

Status values

9

Translation of the status values to text. (e.g. 1=idle; 5=charging ect) see manufacturer data.

Error values

16

Translation of error values to text. (e.g. 0=no error; 7=other error) see manufacturer data.

OCPP Connection

0.0.0.0

Settings to be able to connect to the backend.

Modbus Connection

Serial ...

Connection to the Modbus gateway

Modbus device address

1

Specification of the Modbus device address (or also called device ID)

Start delay

 

Delays the Modbus start by ID*150ms

Modbus Options

...

Settings for reading and writing the Modbus registers

OCPP Connection Check Interval [s]

60

Check interval of the connection to the OCPP backend in seconds.

OCPP Websocket Ping Interval [s]

60

Sending interval of websocket ping messages. 0 = deactivates sending.

OCPP Heartbeat Interval [s]

300

Interval for sending OCPP Heartbeat messages.

OCPP Measurement Interval [s]

10

The current measured values are transmitted to the OCPP backend at the interval set.

OCPP measured value interval [s] (accumulated)

900

At the set interval, the accumulated measured values (average values / interval energy) are transmitted to the OCPP backend.

Power limitation delay [ms]

0

Delays the setting of the power limitation by the specified time in milliseconds.

Station ID

STATIO10NID

Own name of this station. This does not have to be identical to the serial number, but can be.

Default ID Tag

IdTag

ID Tag to be used when a transaction is started locally (no transmission of the ID Tag from the external system).

Configure Start/Stop Transaction

...

Settings for the transaction abort. The value to start/stop a transaction must be entered at "TX stop value" and "TX start value".

Device information

...

Information about the charging station. At least "Manufacturer" and "Model" must be filled in.

Minimum current

6

according to the manufacturer of the charging station

Maximum current

16

according to charging station manufacturer

Set power

 

Activate to limit power instead of current.

Minimum power [kW]

1,4

Setting for the minimum charging power.

Maximum power [kW]

11

Setting for the maximum charging power.

Total counter reading available

 

If the charging station has a total counter reading, this selection can be set.

Driver On/Off

 

(De)activate the component at server start.
