Make electric charging points part of your building management system with an OCPP (Open Charge Point Protocol) gateway
In every digitalization project to make a building 'smarter', the integration of various systems is a requirement. Standard protocols enable communication between different components, regardless of the supplier. Within the Building Automation world, there are various standard protocols such as BACNet, MODbus, KNX, DALI(2), M-bus and LON.
OCPP
An example of a relatively new global standard protocol is OCPP. The Open Charge Point Protocol (OCPP) is a protocol that describes how the communication between the charging point for electric cars and the back office system should take place. OCPP ensures that different systems can communicate with each other in a uniform manner.
Like BACnet, manufacturers can have their equipment tested and certified. This is done at the Open Charging Alliance (OCA). Charging stations for Electrical Vehicles (EV) are increasingly becoming part of the energy infrastructure of buildings.
Intesis responds to these developments and has developed a gateway that translates the OCPP 1.6 protocol and MODbus RTU / IP:
There are 2 variants of our gateways available:
- MODbus integration for 1 charging station with 7 connectors
- MODbus integration for 20 charging stations with 7 connectors per station
Key features of the OCPP gateways:
- Authorization for remote start/stop transaction
- Remote start/stop transaction
- Start/stop transaction
- Local list management
- Heartbeat
- Meter readings
