Using the OCPP User Interface

How to access and use the OCPP user interface for managing charge points and connectors.

The OCPP user interface provides comprehensive management capabilities for charge points and their connectors. Access the interface through the System Management panel.

  1. Access the OCPP user interface.

    To open the OCPP user interface, navigate to System Management > OCPP > OCPP 1.6. On the left side, you will see an overview of the configured Charge Points including their Connectors.

  2. Add a new Charge Point (if needed).
    1. Click the button on the bottom right to add a Charge Point.

      Connecting Charge Points can also be auto-created using the config entry autoCreateChargePoints.

    2. Set the password for the Charge Point.

      After a Charge Point is created, depending on the Security Profile, the password must be set. The password normally is a 20 bytes hex string like 0001020304050607FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF.

    3. Configure the password using one of these methods:
      • Set the password using the Password (hex) text field.
      • Transform a clear text password to its hex representation using the Password (Text) text field and the Generate Hex Password button. In this case, the input would be like ThisIsMy20ByteKey012.
  3. Delete a Charge Point (if needed).
    1. Select the charge point you want to delete.
    2. Press the delete button on the bottom right, or right-click the Charge Point and select Delete Charge Point.

      Note that only disconnected Charge Points can be deleted.

  4. View Charge Point details.

    When selecting a Charge Point, the configuration options and status can be viewed:

    • Status: Shows whether the ChargePoint is connected and when the last heartbeat was received.
    • Device Info tab: Information received from the BootNotification can be seen.
    • Commands tab: Every OCPP 1.6 command can be executed. For descriptions of the commands and their parameters, refer to the OCPP 1.6 specification.
  5. View Connector details.

    When selecting a Connector, the following information is available:

    • Status: Current status of the connector.
    • Transaction Info tab: All information regarding the current or last transaction.
    • Meter Values tab: The last received MeterValues for this connector. During a transaction, there may be more information sent by the Charge Station.

The interface displays a tree view of all configured charge points and their connectors with status indicators.
