This overview reflects the current state of knowledge as of the above date. It does not constitute technical advice, but merely serves as illustrative information in relation to known and tested compatibilities. MENNEKES can give no guarantee as to the correctness and completeness of the information provided, for example in the event of new software versions or product changes in the energy management systems. Therefore, MENNEKES is not liable for damages that arise directly or indirectly from the use of this information. 

System structures

In keeping with the above overview, the following system structures are sorted according to our MENNEKES charging systems. Click the system structure for the respective article to view a schematic overview of a networked charging infrastructure. The simplified representations of the system structures and the basic representations of the interfaces help you to plan, elaborate and execute your project. You can also download all relevant data and detailed information about the interfaces. 

System structure AMTRON® Compact

using the downgrade input (potential-free)

The downgrade input can be used to implement an external release of the charging process (closed contact = external authorisation). Alternatively, when the contact is closed, the maximum charging current of the AMTRON® Compact can be reduced to a uniquely defined value. 

The external switching contact must be securely installed and safely isolated from live electrical equipment, for example by routing a separate insulated cable (NYM). See also the operating manual for the AMTRON® Compact. 

 

Practical example with PV inverter

This is a simplified representation of the practical example in combination with a PV inverter and an additional switch for manual activation of the NT signal.

System structures AMTRON® Xtra/Premium

using the HT/NT input

The so-called "network control" operating mode of the AMTRON® Xtra/Premium can be used with the help of the HT/NT input. This makes it easy to connect to an external release signal, for example from a ripple control receiver, building management system, timer, current sensor or PV inverter. 

The free MENNEKES Charge App is used to activate the operating mode and configure the charging currents. You can find details in the installation manual.

System structure AMTRON® Xtra/Premium for solar charging via SEMP

(Simple Energy Management Protocol)

The AMTRON® Xtra and AMTRON® Premium wallboxes can be integrated directly into an existing intelligent energy management system. You can find further details in the associated installation manual. 

 

System structure AMTRON® Xtra/Premium for solar charging via the MENNEKES App interface

The AMTRON® Xtra and AMTRON® Premium wallboxes can be integrated directly into an existing intelligent energy management system. You can find further details in the associated installation manual. 

System structure AMTRON® Xtra/Premium using the Modbus TCP server

Alternatively, the AMTRON® Xtra and AMTRON® Premium wallboxes can also be controlled by intelligent (home) energy management systems via Modbus TCP. 

Modbus register tables

Note: We are providing you here with the information you require about the interfaces of our charging stations. This should allow you to interface your system with the MENNEKES charging station according to the accompanying specifications. 

Please note: As you can probably imagine, we receive many enquiries every day requesting MENNEKES as a partner to actively support the integration of individual systems into our charging stations. We are also prepared for this at the manufacturer level and have set up an appropriate process to ensure the compatibility of the devices. Are you an energy management system manufacturer? If so, please contact us using the contact form with a corresponding note. 

However, the number of enquiries has increased so much that we are unable to actively support integrations for specific projects or enquiries for individual use cases. We hope that you will understand this approach. Thank you for your interest and we wish you all the success with your installation.

System structure AMTRON® Professional

using the Modbus TCP server

 AMTRON® Professional offers various load management options which, depending on the individual application, lead to the desired goal. In addition to the functions already integrated (e.g. blackout protection, dynamic load management of up to 100 charging points, etc.), the Modbus TCP server interface allows the AMTRON® to be controlled by intelligent energy management systems.

System structure AMTRON® Professional

using OCPP 1.6j Smart Charging

AMTRON® Professional offers various load management options which, depending on the individual application, lead to the desired goal. In addition to the functions already integrated (e.g. blackout protection, dynamic load management of up to 100 charging points, etc.), open and non-proprietary OCPP Smart Charging allows the charging currents to be controlled by external energy management systems. You can find more information about this protocol at www.openchargealliance.org

System structure eMobility Gateway

Smart charging stations using the downgrade input

The eMobility Gateway can be set up as a separate device. The Gateway is already integrated in the smart charging stations. With the help of the Gateway, a local charging point network of a maximum of 16 charging points of the Premium/Smart type can be achieved. 

The downgrade input can be used for an external reduction of the maximum charging current in relation to the complete charging point network. This makes it easy to connect to an external release signal, for example from a ripple control receiver, building management system, timer or current sensor. 

You can find details about networking charging systems and the downgrade input in the associated operating and installation manual. 

Practical example with an external switch (building management system / smart home)

  •  The building management system monitors the energy flows. 
  •  If less energy is available for the charging infrastructure, a relay or contactor is activated and less energy is distributed to the connected charging points.  

 

 

Practical example with an external current sensor

  •  Only a limited amount of electricity is available to supply production and the charging infrastructure. If the measured current value for the auxiliary consumers exceeds a defined value, the downgrade of the charging infrastructure is activated and a reduced current is distributed. 
  • Using this principle together with multiple current sensors and eMobility Gateways, cascading can also be implemented: 

1st limit reached - downgrade group 1, 

2nd limit reached - downgrade group 2. 

  • Use of current sensors and overcurrent relays from energy technology. 

System structure AMEDIO® Professional

using the downgrade input

The downgrade input can be used for an external reduction of the maximum charging current in relation to the complete charging point network. This makes it easy to connect to an external release signal, for example from a ripple control receiver, building management system, timer or current sensor. 

• Easy configuration of the downgrade input via the web interface. 
• Each AMEDIO® charging point has its own downgrade input. 
• Use of the downgrade input for the complete infrastructure via the master charging point is possible. 
(e.g. a reduction from 100 A to 50 A) 

To activate the interface, please see the associated operating manual.
