Electric Vehicles

The mobile application supports Schneider's EVlink Pro AC chargers and the Charge Now functionality (scheduling is currently not supported). To set it up, you have to map the EVlink Pro AC charger as any other household appliance in the Energy plugin.

The charger has to be connected to the controller, commissioned, and the relevant KNX objects provided.

Once the required KNX objects are available, map them in the Energy plugin as follows:

1. In your web browser, connect to your controller and open the Energy plugin.

2. Click + at the bottom right corner > click Add equipment. The form for creating new equipment pops up.

3. Fill out the General tab of the form as follows:

   Title	Any name.
   Power limit (A)	Alarm threshold (it is compared to Power) 0 = Alarm is not set.
   Reverse direction	Leave the attribute unchecked.

4. Click the Objects tab and fill it out:

   Status (Charger register)	Status of the charger
   Charging set point (Charger register)	Charging speed (A)
   **Charging start	Start of charging (s) 4-byte unsigned integer
   **Charging stop	End of charging (s) 4-byte unsigned integer
   Power (Charger register)	Power of the charger (kW)
   Energy (Charger register)	The cumulative amount of electrical energy consumed by the charger since the installation of the application/operation of the charger (kWh)
   **Consumed on last charge	The energy used during the last charge (kWh) 4-byte floating point
   **Transaction time	Charging time (s) 4-byte unsigned integer
   Remote command (Charger register)	Control commands for the charger (start, stop, pause)
   **Device status	Communication status of the charger with the controller (1/0)

   
   
   NOTE:

   • Objects labeled as Charger register are obtained from the charger via Modbus protocol (see Supported Chargers for Electric Vehicles).

   • **: You must create these objects in your controller – preferably as virtual objects.
     For practical reasons, name the objects created in the controller the same as in the table above so there are no doubts when mapping.

   
   

5. Click Save.

   
   

   The appliance appears as an item on the equipment list.

6. Check the appliance (checkbox on the left) > click at the bottom left > click Add selected to room > choose to which room(s) you want the charger added.

   NOTE:
   Rooms already have to be created in Touch Config.

7. Click Add.

The mapped appliance power and energy are available in (new tab) at the bottom right of the mobile application.

Tap in the app and check if the appliance is monitored correctly:

• The values in the Live view have to be displayed instantly.

• You need to wait for data history and let the system generate enough data to display in the app.
