2.3.1.6 How to read values from the charger
To read the values or measurements that the charger has available in OCPP, the user needs to configure them in
the Charger´s configuration tool. Refer to charger´s user manual to learn which ones are present in the charger and
how to activate them to be ready for OCPP communication.
Note that this type of notifications will only take place when there is an active transaction, otherwise the charger will
not notify any value by itself.
In case an update of a specific value is required, the BMS can request an update using the “Trigger Message”
registers and requesting them with a message MessageValues.
Refer to Intesis Modbus Register table to check the values implemented in the gateway.
2.3.1.7 Local Authorization list management
The Local Authorization list of the chargers can be managed by the central system (BMS) using the sequence
described in the appendix 1: SEQ_SendLocalList
Using this sequence, the BMS can add, edit or delete elements in this list. Note that the BMS should write these
registers one by one and one after another.
Each edition of the list will change its version. In order to check the version that the charger is using, the central
system can request this value using the operation described in Appendix 1 SEQ_GetLocalListVersion
Working with an External OCPP Central system: Read-only Modbus registers
This section describes the basic information that a Modbus client can read from the gateway when is connected to
an external OCPP central system.
2.4.1 Available Operations
When working in this mode, no OCPP operations are available since the gateway is acting as a bridge between an
External OCPP Central system and OCPP enabled chargers.
2.4.1.1 How to read values from the chargers in Modbus
When working as an External OCPP Central system mode, the Intesis gateway will act as a bridge between OCPP
chargers and an external OCPP central system, offering only OCPP measurements and values from the chargers to
the Modbus BMS.
Note that these values will only be updated in the gateway when the External OCPP and the chargers have engaged
in communication. When working in this mode, all the OCPP sequences and operations are managed by the External
OCPP system, therefore the Intesis gateway is merely updating the values that are available in the OCPP
communication.
To read the values or measurements that the charger has available in OCPP, the user needs to configure them in
the Charger´s configuration tool. Refer to charger´s user manual to learn which ones are present in the charger and
how to activate them to be ready for OCPP communication.
Once knowing which measurements are available in the OCPP system, they can be activated in the gateway to be
ready as Modbus registers for the Modbus BMS.
Refer to Intesis Modbus Register table to check the values implemented in the gateway.
