Controlling & Monitoring Charging Stations via OCPP

Central Charging System- plug.control

by V.S

This is a project that aims to create a simple Backend in order to:

1. control a charging Station
2. Store and Visualise charging processes
3. Export data in a given format. Written in Javascript. And tested on a X-Charge - C2EU - AC Charging Station.

Starting Point:

• OCPP 1.6 - JSON
• Server written in node.js using the ws module
• X-Charge C2EU are used for testing.
• central system adress (adress of the server) is the http://192.168.0.23:9016

The Backend

The Frontend

todos

• think of an App structure . index.html
• design the ui and the basic functionalities
• test the whole thing
• write about what you did, how you overcame all these little problems and why you think the code works
• save data to mongo.db

notes
