Connection

The hypercharger is equipped with two network ports: XF1 and XF2. These are located in the lower area behind the front door.

Important

Use the XF1 "service" port for load management.

RJ45/Ethernet XF1: Service & load management
RJ45/Ethernet XF2: Client port

Configuration

By default, the charging station is configured for DHCP. If you want to set a static IP address, configure this in the Network settings > Ethernet > Configuration area by changing the mode to Manual.

Access the Web GUI via the following URL: http://192.168.1.100/

Important

Check the OCPP parameters via the backend or directly on the charger under OCPP Configuration.

If one of the following OCPP parameters is set to 0

ChargingProfileMaxStackLevel
ChargingScheduleMaxPeriods
MaxChargingProfilesInstalled

The charger does not follow the sent setpoints via Modbus TCP. Please contact the Alpitronic support to adapt these parameters remotely.

Do not commission the system before these parameters are adapted.

Notice

If the Hypercharger was connected to a different load management before, you might need to do a full reset of the charger to remove existing curtailment setpoints. Get in touch with your Alpitronic support contact in that case.

Firmware update

Update the charging stations according to the manufacturer's specifications.

Default settings

Configure the following settings via Power Settings > Power:
Perform a hard reset of the hypercharger via the Hard reset HYC button.

Max grid power represents the maximum power drawn from the grid by the hypercharger. Note that the maximum charging power of the Hypercharger is always lower than the value set here due to conversion losses.
Set the Grid fallback power to a safe value. This charging power is set to the maximum value when the load management system has no connection to the hypercharger.
Set the Charging strategy to Fair share.
Set ModBus enabled.

Note

Modifications to the network settings of the charger require a hard reset.

Configuration via OCPP backend

Instead of using the local frontend from the charger you can also commission the HYC via the OCPP backend. Adjust the following OCPP configuration keys via the OCPP backend:

Configuration	Description	Value
MaxGridPower	Maximum power drawn from the grid (in W) including conversion losses to DC.	for example: 320000
GridFallbackPower	Maximum power drawn from the grid (in W) including conversion losses to DC, if the load management system loses connection.	for example: 50000
ModbusLoadManagementEnabled	Activate the load management via Modbus TCP	true
ChargingStrategy	Local charging strategy (balance load between the connectors)	FAIR
