COMMUNICATIONS
The equipment requires several communications to work and to interact with the customers. Each one has
its own aim and purpose, described in this section.
Refer to "Communication connections" section for further information about connections to enable these
communications.
Before opening any door, the equipment must be completely isolated, without any tension. Be
sure to follow the insulation guidelines and all safety instructions indicated in the "Safety
instructions" section. Please use all the indicated PPE.
Otherwise, you may get an electric shock.
Ethernet communication
The equipment requires an Ethernet entry connection for OCPP1.6 communications and internet
connection.
There is an Ethernet connection for communication with the main control board of the different chargers.
However, it can be replaced by an optical fiber connection.
Moreover, there is an Ethernet connection to monitor and configure the parameters through the Power
Electronics’ applications, commonly used by the back office. This use is mainly focused on maintenance
and commissioning.
Power Electronics recommends using CAT5e or CAT6 copper cable and RJ45 connector for these
connections.
Optical fiber communication
The equipment requires, for power regulation, an optical fiber communication between the electronic
boards.
Besides, it can include, as optional, the optical fiber connection to replace the Ethernet communication
with the main control board of the charger. This optional communication method allows locating the
charger farther than with Ethernet connection.
Wi-Fi communication
Wi-Fi network communication can be included as optional. It is designed to facilitate user access to the
charger. This connection requires the device and the user connected to the same Wi-Fi network. Once
configured, the user can start a charging session through the mobile application.
