Key takeaways
- OCPP connects charging equipment with management software.
- An IoT CMS can support connected charger operations.
- Project requirements should be discussed before selecting the equipment and software scope.
Understanding OCPP
OCPP is a communication approach used in EV charging discussions to connect charging equipment with management software. The specific setup should be matched to the charger, platform, and operating requirements of the project.
- Identify the charger and software involved
- Confirm the required communication setup
- Discuss compatibility before deployment
The Role of an IoT CMS
An IoT CMS can provide a digital layer for managing connected charging equipment. Depending on the project, the discussion may include charger status, operational visibility, access control, and information needed by the station operator.
- Map the information operators need
- Define who will access the system
- Separate equipment needs from software needs
Questions to Ask a Provider
A useful enquiry should explain the intended site, charger type, fast charging requirement, and desired connected functions. Clear project information helps the provider understand whether the focus should be charger building, station supply, OCPP services, or a combination.
- Can the provider build the required charger?
- Does the project need fast charging stations?
- What OCPP IoT CMS functions are required?
Frequently asked questions
Is OCPP the same as an EV charger?
No. OCPP relates to communication between charging equipment and management software, while the charger is the physical equipment.
What information should I share for an OCPP IoT CMS enquiry?
Share the intended site, charger requirements, fast charging needs, and the connected functions you want to discuss.
