Hi

I want to communicating with the OCPP protocol (Open Charge Point Protocol) over ethernet. This protocol let me comunicate with electric vehicle charging point to read out information about the charging. Its also let me comunicate with a authentication server for start and stop charging.

Do anybody know where I can find a library that handle the OCPP protocol?

    I don't know of any libraries in the PLCnext Store, but Phoenix Contact has charging controllers that do include OCPP, I think.

    If you want more information about these charging controllers, please get in touch with your local Phoenix Contact sales office.

    Hi Martin

    I got 4 of those controllers but I cant use them because they dont have modbus communication for my project and there is sadly delivryproblem also.

    I've found a OCPP to Modbus Gateway so I will try thisone.

    Hello.

    In case it is still of interest and to provide another point of view

    Plcnext controllers support to install node-red (the problem is that a 1152 is possibly too small for this purpose), and in node-red you can install "node-network-contrib-ocpp" --> (Based on the OCPP 1.5 and OCPP 1.6 specifications utilizing the Simple Object Access Protocol (hereafter SOAP) and JavaScript Object Notation (hereafter JSON) protocols)
