I-CON EVOLUTION 4.6 MultiCP System Installation 4�6�1 Introduction With the installation of a DLM MultiCP system, up to 30 charging points can be managed, maximising the use of available energy, avoiding overloads and allowing simultaneous charging of several vehicles. It is based on a Server/Client logic. The server station manages the Client stations.
4�6�3 Topology 1: “Daisy Chain” Description of the system This topology uses both motherboard Ethernet ports. The installer will connect the charging stations in series, following a pattern similar to the image below. Server Charger Client Charger Client Charger Drtsy chrto ciofiguratio This should result in an implant structure similar to the one shown in the figure: Internet Connection (optional)
I-CON EVOLUTION Specific characteristics This configuration allows for easy connection between stations, without the addition of external devices and with a reduced use of Ethernet cable. Clearly, with this topology, the system is susceptible to any failure of a client station or deterioration of the Ethernet cable, which would lead to the disconnection of all downstream stations.
Station with information about the system’s consumption, is essential for the use of the load balancing functionality. Currently I-CON EVO MultiCP allows a specific kit of sensors to be fitted. Gewiss CT sensors connected to the server station → GWJ8037: for SINGLE-PHASE systems → GWJ8038 for THREE-PHASE systems Gewiss CT sensors This solution is compatible with installations with a current rating of less than 100A.
I-CON EVOLUTION 4�6�6 External sensor positioning instructions In order for the system to function correctly, the Server station must be able to obtain, from an external sensor, consumption data for the entire installation where the series of charging points is installed. This is essential to be able to calculate the energy available for charging and to determine the behaviour of all stations.
4.7 Electrical check – Earthing resistance When the installation is completed and the system is powered, an electrical check is mandatory to avoid any problems during the charging session. For example: • the earthing resistance should be lower than 10Ω. •...
I-CON EVOLUTION The Server station also reads the power data of the system from an external meter, which is essential for calculating the energy balance between external loads and charging stations. The operating principle is currently based on balanced logic. The energy available for charging is divided equally between the active sessions.
6.1 I-CON EVO MultiCP with RFID reader In this case, I-CON EVO is equipped with an internal RFID reader and the identification of the user can be carried out using an RFID tag. Usable RFID tags must comply with IEC 14443 A/B. I-CON EVO enables RFID tag registration and management in 3 modes: I-CON EVO enables RFID tag registration and management in 3 modes: 1) Via JoinON small net...
This mode requires the execution of a process called “digital commissioning” through the JoinON small net platform. After a few steps by GEWISS, the end user or designated contact person will be able to complete the required configuration and invite the authorised users.

Once connected to the station, the On-board Portal can be reached at the following address: https://WIFI_HOTSPOT_SSID.local:8080 For example: https://GWJ3702C_50411C39CD16.local:8080 To facilitate access, the WIFI Hotspot SSID and password are the same data used to connect to the hotspot generated by the station. If the address is correct, a login page should open, where you should enter: Username: Installer Password: WIFI_HOTSPOT_PSW...
I-CON EVOLUTION 7.2 Basic structure of the On-board Portal Once you have successfully logged in, the On-board Portal will be divided into 4 macro sections: → Configuration → Logs → Charging log → RFID Below is an overview of the individual sections. 7�2�1 Configuration section This section is divided into several subsections: •...
7�2�2 Logs section In this section, installers and service personnel will have easy access to the logs of the charging station. At the top right you can select the log file to read and refresh manually to view the new logged lines. When the portal is opened, the platform communication management log is shown, which is often the most useful for initial debugging.
Page 40
I-CON EVOLUTION In selecting the files to be read, you can see that some will have a suffix with a number ( .1, .2 …). This is normal, as the station has a 5-day log retention capability. The prefix means how many days ago the log refers to. For instance, an: iot Manager Out 5 should be opened if you want to read the logs from 5 days before.

I-CON EVOLUTION 7.3 I-CON EVO MultiCP configuration as a single station I-CON EVO MultiCP is designed to be installed in systems with multiple interconnected stations. However, if the installation of a single station is necessary, the following configuration steps from the On-board Portal must be followed. 7�3�1 Operating parameter setting Once the station has been started, proceed and access the On-board Portal to set, as required:...
Page 43
From the On-board Portal, configuration section, locate the menu with network configuration parameters and proceed. Wi-Fi network configuration: From the on-board portal click on “configure Wi-Fi network”. A window opens asking for network parameters (SSID, Password, and Security). Once entered, click on "save".
I-CON EVOLUTION 7.4 DLM MultiCP: server station configuration After the installation and connection of the stations, the connection of the external meter, you first need to proceed with the configuration of the station that will assume the role of Server. INFO: For more effective configuration, we recommend that you always start with the Server station configuration.
7�4�2 MultiCP specific parameter setting Now you need to enable the DLM, again from the On-board Portal, identify the “MultiCP Settings” section and proceed with the setting: • Server/Client logical activation → Activate the switch • Role of the charging station →...

I-CON EVOLUTION 9. myJOINON APP All charging functions of I-CON EVO MultiCP are available in the myJOINON App. Once the more or less complex structure of the organisation has been set up by Joinon SmallNet, the system manager has the possibility to invite users to one or more systems within the same organisation, in order to enable them to start charging vehicles autonomously without the use of a physical medium such as an RFID tag.
The APP can be used to view multiple systems, by tapping on the "3 bars" at the top right where you can see your favourites. Tap “other systems” to see any other systems and set your favourites with the “star”. The invited users can therefore manage the charging sessions autonomously, quickly identifying the available sockets in the system and start the charging sessions also simply by tapping the blue button and scanning the QRcode installed on the station...
