Monitoring The Charging Process - Siemens SICHARGE D Operating Instructions Manual

Monitoring the charging process

A successfully started charging process can be monitored via the display. The type and
amount of information depends on the charging port and whether tariff information is
available from the OCPP backend. You can navigate using the arrows to view more
information, including the estimated charging time remaining, the amount of energy drawn,
elapsed charging duration, and much more. The bars in the lower area of the screen show
how many pages can be displayed and which page is currently displayed.
Note that there may be different displays of charging power between the charging station
and the vehicle. This is the case if, for example, the vehicle only displays the power drawn to
charge the batteries, but at the same time still uses the total charging power drawn in other
ways. Examples of this are heating or cooling the batteries. This is not a fault of the charging
station.

Timeout
A countdown begins after a long period of inactivity (timeout). Without interaction, you are
automatically logged off after this period and the display switches to the main menu. Active
charging processes are not terminated. Alternatively, you can also return directly to the main
screen via the display and log off.
After log-off, you can view the details of your charging process again at any time. Depending
on the configuration in the SCB, either no authentication is required or the same method that
you used to log on when you started the charging process.
If authentication is not required, you merely need to select the charging port for which you
want information on the screen.
In contrast, if authentication is required, e.g. via RFID card, scanning the card brings you to
the charging screen immediately.
