There is an extended definition for this object here.

iso15118_certificate_request:object (iso15118_charger-Request_Exi_Stream_Schema)

The vehicle requests the SECC to deliver the certificate that belong to the currently valid contract of the vehicle. Response will be reported async via set_get_certificate_response

There is an extended definition for this object here.

enforced_limits:object (energy-EnforcedLimits)

Enforced limits for this node (coming from the EnergyManager)

There is an extended definition for this object here.

waiting_for_external_ready:boolean

Signals that the EVSE Manager is in principle ready to start charging, but delays sending its ready signal waiting for the external_ready_to_start_charging command.

ready:boolean

Signals that the EVSE Manager is ready to start charging

selected_protocol:string

Contains the selected protocol used for charging for informative purposes

11.2.18.2. Commands

get_evse:object

Call to get information about the EVSE including its connectors

Result:object (evse_manager-Evse)

Object that contains information of the EVSE including its connectors

There is an extended definition for this object here.

enable:boolean

Enables the evse. EVSE is available for charging after this operation

connector_id:integer

Specifies the ID of the connector to enable. If 0, the whole EVSE should be enabled

Result:boolean

Returns true if evse was enabled (or was enabled before), returns false if enable failed e.g. due to permanent fault.

disable:boolean

Disables the evse. EVSE is not available for charging after this operation

connector_id:integer

Specifies the ID of the connector. If 0, the whole EVSE should be disabled

Result:boolean

Returns true if evse was disabled (or was disabled before), returns false if it could not be disabled (i.e. due to communication error with hardware)

authorize_response:void

Reports the result of an authorization request to the EvseManager. Contains the provided_token for which authorization was requested and the validation_result

provided_token:object (authorization-ProvidedIdToken)

The token for which authorization was requested

There is an extended definition for this object here.

validation_result:object (authorization-ValidationResult)

The validation result

There is an extended definition for this object here.

withdraw_authorization:void

Call to signals that EVSE is not further authorized to start a transaction (e.g. on a connection_timeout)

reserve:boolean

Call to signal that EVSE is reserved. This can be used to e.g. change the color of the HMI LEDs to indicate reservation.

reservation_id:integer

The reservation id (should be added to the TransactionStarted event)

Result:boolean

Returns true if the EVSE accepted the reservation, else false.

cancel_reservation:void

Call to signal that EVSE is not reserved anymore

set_faulted:void

Sets the evse manager to faulted externally. It may also switch to faulted itself if it detects an internal error.

pause_charging:boolean

Call to signal EVSE to pause charging

Result:boolean

Returns true if successfully paused or was already in paused_by_evse mode

resume_charging:boolean

Call to signal EVSE to resume charging

Result:boolean

Returns true if resume was successful, false otherwise (e.g. resuming a car pause won’t work)

stop_transaction:boolean

Stops transaction and cancels charging externally, charging can only be resumed by replugging car. EVSE will also stop transaction automatically e.g. on disconnect, so this only needs to be called if the transaction should end before.

request:object (evse_manager-StopTransactionRequest)

Request to stop the transaction.

There is an extended definition for this object here.

Result:boolean

Returns true if successful

force_unlock:boolean

Forces connector to unlock connector now. During normal operation, connector will be locked/unlocked in the correct sequence. Do not use this function except if explicitly requested by e.g. management cloud.

connector_id:integer

Specifies the ID of the connector that should be unlocked

Result:boolean

Returns true if unlocking sequence was successfully executed

set_external_limits:void

Set additional external energy flow limits at this node.

value:object (energy-ExternalLimits)

UUID of node that this limit applies to

There is an extended definition for this object here.

switch_three_phases_while_charging:string

Switch three phases while charging

three_phases:boolean

True: switch to three phases, false: switch to single phase

Result:string (evse_manager-SwitchThreePhasesWhileChargingResult)

Returns success or error code

There is an extended definition for this object here.

set_get_certificate_response:void

CertificateInstallationRes/CertificateUpdateRes - Set the new/updated Contract Certificate (including the certificate chain) and the corresponding encrypted private key. Should be forwared to EVCC. This is an async response to a previously published iso15118_certificate_request

certificate_response:object (iso15118_charger-Response_Exi_Stream_Status)

The response raw exi stream and the status from the CSMS system

There is an extended definition for this object here.

external_ready_to_start_charging:boolean

There are situations where another module needs to do some initialization after evse manager is in principle ready to start charging. This command can be used (optimally in combination with a configuration option) to delay charging ready until the external module is done with its initialization

Result:boolean

Returns true if the signal was used by the evse manager implementation
