HMI Configuration
The CC613 Charge Controller and variants can be expanded with a display module (DPM2x16FP) and an RFID module (RFID117-L1) to offer an interface for user interaction.
Display
Goal
- Activate a display that has already been wired up to a Charge Controller
- Get an overview over what type of information is displayed
- Changing languages
- How to set up a single display with 2 Charge Controllers (Master-Slave)
Overview
A correctly set up display shows the following information to EV drivers while the charging is in progress:
- Charging time
- Energy
- Power
Activating the display
The Display is already activated by default.

RFID
The RFID module is used in combination with the charge controller within a charging system to authorize charging transactions.
One of the most important means of authentication at charging points is RFID (radio-frequency identification) chips. This also includes NFC (Near Field Communication) technology. These form the basis of all charging cards. Central to the identification is the so-called UID (Unique Identification) of an RFID chip. This is a unique code that represents the identity of a chip.
LED status
Behavior | Meaning |
---|---|
GREEN continuously lighting | The Charging System is free and ready for use. |
YELLOW continuously lighting | The Charging System is reserved for another user. |
WHITE rotating | The authorization process is running. Please wait. |
BLUE fast flashing | The presented RFID card has been accepted. Vehicle is not yet connected or has just been disconnected from the charging system |
BLUE slow flashing | Charging has been authorized. The vehicle is charging. |
GREEN, YELLOW, BLUE fast flashing | The presented RFID card has been rejected. |
GREEN, YELLOW, BLUE continuously flashing | Due to technical errors the Charging Station is out of order. |
GREEN, YELLOW, BLUE slow flashing | The Charging station is being updated. |
When presenting a RFID that either has not been presented for a while or has never been presented, it might take some time for the backend to recognize the RFID. When the LED´s show that the card has been rejected, wait some time and present it again.
