Private/Public Charger Used by Multiple Users

The option to add multiple users is available only in the Private/Public charger used by multiple users. “Local users” option opens by pressing the “Add new” button and allows the creation of new users. First and last name of the users need to be inserted.

Each user can have one or multiple identification means. By pressing the RFID card icon option all the identification that are assigned to the user can be seen. Also, there is option to add new ones or edit and delete already assigned identification.

When adding new identification, already swiped RFID cards will be available, or the system will ask you to swipe the card and then it will add it to the system.

If the option “Add it manually” is selected, it is possible to choose what type of identification will be added for this user. Selection between RFID, PIN, Vehicle ID (compliant with IEC 15118) and Remote identification (with mobile app) can be made.

Settings:

• Status (Active, blocked, expired, invalid and unknown)

• Number – Number on the identification mean (RFID often has number written)

• Code – identification unique code

• Expiration date

The electric vehicle can be assigned to each user individually by pressing the EV icon. New window will open that gives the option to choose predefined EV or to define it yourself.

In the Charging authorization the selection of Authorization type can be made. This setting defines who is allowed to charge on the charging station:

• Plug and Charge (all users).

• Only charger white list users.

• Only central system users.

• Both central system users and white list users.

If the Authorization type is Plug and Charge, the Plug and charge tag id does not need to be set. This is the code that charging station sends to the backend when plug and charge mode is used.

Choose Supported Identifications

Identifications that are supported by the charging station are first dependent on the type of charging station and on which authorization modules are installed inside the charging station.

Depending on the installed authorization modules, selection which authorization means will be available for the users of the particular charging station can be set in the web interface. This is set in the “User”, “Charging authorization” window.

The authorization type can be enabled, and after that the settings can be set. For example, in the case of App authorization, the app download link and Start code need to be inserted.

Set Central System Behaviour

In the “User”, “Charging authorization” option menu it is possible to set Central system behaviour. Different modes of behaviour are supported. Options are:

• Allow charging when charger is offline and cannot authorize user at central system.

• Enable authorization from cache when charger is in offline mode. Cache is built from previous authorization attempts.

• Enable central system to upload white list of customers, to be used when charger is in offline mode.

• After remote start, authorize before starting charging.

• Start charging based on local authorization, even before remote authorization is checked.

• Also, setting of the cable disconnect timeout is possible to specify the time after which charger will notify central system that cable is still connected after charging has stopped.

Options that can be set, can be seen on the following figure.

Setting Advertisements on the LCD Screen

LCD screen advertisement can be set in the “Configuration”, “Advertising” option. It is possible to set on which days and at which hour particular picture/advertisement will be shown.

New advertisement can be added by pressing the “Add new advertisement” button. After the selection of right parameters, the advertisement can be uploaded to the charging station by pressing the “Upload” button. Advertisement is shown on the LCD of the charging station before the charging session start.

To enable the advertisements on the charging station LCD screen, this option needs to be selected in the “Configuration”, “Charger configuration”, “GUI settings”. The advertisement duration in seconds can also be set.
