Charging stations with OCPP support
Supported Devices
Warning
OCPP is only supported on chargers that do not need to be connected to a mobility service provider backend. This by definition excludes all public charging stations.
| Device Type | Modbus TCP (Ethernet) | RS485 |
|---|---|---|
| Most charging stations with support for OCPP v1.6 and the smart charging OCPP profile. Consult the manufacturer. | ✅ | ❌ |
Warning
The OCPP enabled charger must allow setting a local IP address as the OCPP backend. Consult the charger manufacturer in case of doubt.
Configuration
OCPP is enabled by default on the SmartgridOne Controller on TCP port 9000.
Warning
The controller must be configured to have a fixed IP address in your network to enable OCPP. This is because the SmartgridOne Controller acts as an OCPP server, and the IP adress must be configured in your charger. See Network on how to set up a fixed IP address.
In the charger's settings, go the OCPP settings and follow these steps:
- Enable OCPP on the charger.
- Set the address to: ws://[SmartgridOne Controller IP address]:9000.
- Check that the OCPP version is set to version 1.6J if the option is present.
It is recommended to wait a minute or two for the charger to connect to the SmartgridOne Controller before adding it as a device in the commissioning interface.
