Here you can find out how to integrate the reev software into a charging station that uses a Bender CC612/ CC613 controller.
The integration can be carried out independently in a few simple steps.
Supported models:
Mennekes: Amtron/ Amedio
Spelsberg: SmartPro
Walther Werke: SmartEVO
PC Electric: GLB, GTB, LS4
What is necessary in advance for integration to take place?
reev operator set
has arrived at the operator / CPO (CPO = Charge Point Operator) or contracted service provider. Here you will find the necessary onboarding material such as QR code stickers, SIM card and activation code.Laptop
You will need a laptop to connect to the controller charging infrastructure via an RJ45 data cableActive internet connection
via Ethernet or WiFi to establish the connection to the reev backend.
Make sure that:
the ECU has been updated to the latest software version before integration.
the charging stations have already been configured to communicate with each other via the assigned IP addresses. This depends on the technical setup on site, e.g. the use of a switch (unmanaged, managed), local load management, WiFi, etc., and can therefore not be taken over by reev.
1. insert the micro SIM card and make sure to attach the sticker,
so that you can easily remove the SIM card again if required. The circuit board must face to the right when inserting the Micro SIM card.
2. connection options of the ECU
Ethernet/LAN
Connect your laptop to the Bender Controller via the Digitus adapter
Micro USB
Connect your laptop to the Bender Controller using the micro USB cable supplied and open the following IP address http://192.168.123.123 via which the web interface can be accessed.
3. open the network settings of the LAN port of your laptop
Set the following:
IP version: IPv4
IP address: 192.168.124.21
Subnet mask: 255.255.255.0
Default gateway: 192.168.124.1
Via the network (switch)
As soon as the charging infrastructure is integrated into a network via Ethernet, the web interface can be accessed via an end device located in the same network.
IP address: 192.168.0.70
The web interface can be accessed at: http://192.168.0.70
4 Network settings
Set the network for the LTE connection as follows:
If you intend to connect to the reev backend via LAN, you can skip this point
Click on the "Network" menu item
Show modem settings -> Display
Access point name (APN) -> emonvia (required to establish the backend connection)
APN user name -> emonviaCS (required to establish the backend connection)
APN password -> not required to establish the backend connection
ATTENTION: The WLAN router setting must be switched on if the charging group is connected to a switch (unmanaged).
Set the network for the LAN connection as follows:
Ethernet configuration mode:
Select the "Static" option if the charging station is to receive a fixed IP address in a local network and enter this and the remaining details accordingly.
Select the "DHCP server" option if the IP address is to be assigned automatically.
ATTENTION: If integration into a local network is planned, all APN details must be deleted.
5. set the backend for the integration as follows:
Click on the "Backend" menu item and set:
Connection type -> GSM
ChargePointID" -> Manufacturer_Serial number
OCPP mode "OCPP-J-1.6"
WebSockets JSON OCPP URL of the backend wss://ocpp.reev.com/api/ocpp/web-socket
Send informative StatusNotifications -> On
Send StatusNotifications for errors -> On
Strategy for StatusNotification state transitions -> Assigned during loading
Allow long retrieval of configuration keys -> On
Prohibit loading when queue is full -> Off
ATTENTION: If the serial number contains a dot ".", replace this with a "_" (underscore). Otherwise it cannot be read out correctly.
In the Energy meter area, set
Send signed meter values -> On
Format of the signed meter values -> Full SML
Sending the public key of the meter to the backend -> On
Click on "Save" to save the settings and continue
6. set the authorization as follows
Free charging -> Off
Allow charging in case of doubt -> Off
Stop transaction mode -> Unlock only with RFID/RemoteStop
Close actuator only with authorization -> On
RFID tag upper/lower case -> lower case
Activate local whitelist -> Off
Local whitelist learning mode -> Off
OCPP whitelist learning mode -> Off
Local Pre Authorize -> Off
Local Authorize Offline -> On
Click on "Save" to save the settings and continue
7. load management (local)
Operator current limit [A]: Adjust the amperage according to the physically protected value of the RCD or reduce it if required.
This setting must be carried out by a qualified electrician.Operator current limit [A] (Connector 2): Adjust the amperage according to the physically protected value of the RCD or reduce it if desired.
This setting must be carried out by a qualified electrician.
Click on "Save" to save the settings and continue
8. System
Logging level -> LOG_LEVEL_DEBUG:
Click on "Save" to save the settings and continue.
Click on "Restart" to save the settings and restart the charging station.
INFO: After the charging station has restarted, check whether the connection to the reev backend is established. To do this, call up the Dashboard menu item. To do this, log in again as described in point 5.
When the charging station has successfully connected to the reev backend, so-called "heartbeats" (HB) are received from the charging station to check the online status in a continuous cycle of 300 seconds.
ATTENTION: If the charging station does not connect, please check the above points again.
