Before you start

Before you begin, make sure:

The charging station is physically installed and powered on
The charging station is updated to the latest software version
The FoxCloud2.0 app is installed on your device

Step-by-Step Instructions

1. Connect the charging station to the network

Connect an Ethernet cable to port 6 (red) at the bottom of the charging station
Verify the connection is established by checking the network status in the FoxCloud2.0 app

For network infrastructure requirements and troubleshooting, see Infrastructure requirements for the gateway.

2. Access the charging station settings

Open the FoxCloud2.0 app
Follow the instructions to complete the charging station setup in the App

3. Enable communication via Modbus

Navigate to
More Settings of the charging station
Configure the following Advanced Settings:
- Operation Mode: Modbus TCP
Save the settings

4. Discover the charging station in the commissioning wizard

The charging station is now ready for the commissioning wizard. The gateway will scan the network to find available devices, which may take a few minutes. Once complete, the FoxESS L11P charging station will appear on the results page.

FAQ

Why isn't the charging station appearing in the commissioning wizard?

Check that the Ethernet cable is connected to port 6 (red) at the bottom of the charging station and that the communication protocol is set to Modbus TCP in the FoxCloud2.0 app. Restart the gateway and wait for the network scan to complete.

How do I update the firmware of the charging station?

You can perform the update through the FoxCloud2.0 app.
For detailed update instructions, refer to the official FoxESS documentation.

What is Modbus TCP and why is it required?

Modbus TCP grants the gateway full control permissions over the charging station, including charging control, parameter configuration, and information queries. Other communication protocols (OCPP, Modbus RTU) limit these permissions and prevent the gateway from fully controlling the charging station.
