Charging Stations
How to connect and configure EV chargepoints with Edge. Most chargers connect via OCPP 1.6 over Ethernet. Some brands require alternative connection methods.
Which connection method?
| Charger type | Protocol | Guide |
|---|---|---|
| Any OCPP 1.6 charger | WebSocket (Ethernet) | OCPP Setup |
| Ecotap master-slave | LMS protocol | Ecotap Setup |
| EVBox G2 / G3 | RS485 (non-OCPP) | EVBox Setup |
| Peblar | Modbus TCP (non-OCPP) | Peblar Setup |
| Kreisel Chimero | Modbus TCP (non-OCPP) | — |
| Not listed | — | Request Integration |
EVBox G2/G3 stations have no Ethernet interface, so RS485 is the only available connection method. Peblar chargepoints require a valid signed TLS certificate for OCPP over secure WebSocket, which Edge cannot provide as a local controller — Modbus TCP is used instead.
