1. Before Starting IMPORTANT The Intesis INMBSOCP0xx0100 gateway is compatible with OCPP 1.6 only. Ensure the OCPP installation is compatible with that version. During the installation of the gateway, you will need to know and/or modify some parameters of the OCPP network.
Configuration Guide Integrating an OCPP Installation into a BMS • Connector: Electrical outlet used to connect the electric vehicle to the charge point physically. 1.2. Integrating an OCPP Installation into a BMS Figure 2. An OCPP installation and a BMS In some cases, the OCPP installation is part of a building equipped with a building management system (BMS).
Two Possible Roles for the Gateway Configuration Guide It is in this context that the Intesis INMBSOCPxxx0100 gateway plays its role in two different ways. IMPORTANT The logic of the gateway has been developed to be supported and complemented by the logic of a Modbus-based BMS .
Configuration Guide Configure the Project Offline The second possible role for the gateway is to substitute the OCPP central system: Figure 5. The gateway and the BMS act as the OCPP central system In this second case, the gateway, together with the Modbus-based BMS, substitutes the central system of the OCPP installation.

FAQ and Troubleshooting Configuration Guide • The URL for the not-found charge points contains the gateway's IP address. – That URL is set under this form: ws://xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx:9000/chargerID, where "xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx" correspond to the IP address of the charge point; this IP must be the same as the IP Address of the gateway.
Configuration Guide Programming the Modbus-based BMS 11. Programming the Modbus-based BMS NOTE This section applies to the gateway's BMS Central System mode only. When using the gateway with the BMS Central System mode, the OCPP central system is removed from the installation and all functions it manages are trespassed to the gateway and the Modbus-based BMS.
