Information
For the network connection, a 2.4 GHz frequency
band is used. In the event of connection problems,
deactivate the 5 GHz frequency band on the network
router.
Powerline Communication
As an alternative to WiFi, your charger can be con-
nected to the home network via a PLC connection.
The existing power grid is used to establish a local
network for data transfer. The charger is registered
as a client in the PLC network.
To establish a connection, the charger and the PLC
modem can be connected to one another via the
pairing button. In this case, the charger is paired
automatically with the PLC modem. Another means
of establishing a connection is to enter the security
code of the charger on the PLC modem.
1. Activate Powerline Communication (PLC).
2. Adding the charger to the PLC network:
–
Option 1: With the pairing button:
a. In the web application, select the option
Connect with PLC Push method.
Select b. Start pairing.
c. Press the pairing button on the PLC mo-
dem within 2 minutes to initiate the estab-
lishment of a connection.
d. Select the Connect button to confirm
pairing.
–
Option 2: By entering the PLC security code:
a. Select the option Establish connection
with PLC security key. The security code is
displayed.
b. Enter the security code in the settings of
your PLC modem.
The charger is integrated in the PLC network
and a connection is established.
PLC connection to the vehicle
This function is only visible and configurable for the
Customer service user. With the deactivation of the
PLC connection, no further data is transferred via the
cable to the vehicle.
This status is required for example during certain
measurements.
With data transfer, charging that is based on the
charging protocol is enabled by default (high level
communication).
Without data transfer, the charging process is based
on electrical key values (pulse width modulation).
Adding an energy manager
To ensure the energy manager takes over control
of charging, the charger (EEBus device) and energy
manager must first be connected to one another. The
connection is to be established both in the energy
manager's web application and the charger's web
application (or directly on the charger if desired).
Establishing a connection to the charger on the en-
ergy manager
g Connection to the charger is described in the sec-
tion "Adding an EEBus device" in the web application
instructions of the Porsche Home Energy Manager.
Establishing a connection to the energy manager
on the charger
b The charger and energy manager are in the same
network.
1. Navigate to Connections e Energy manager in
the charger's web application.
The energy manager is displayed in the
Available energy managers list.
2. Select energy manager and expand.
3. Select Pair devices.
The connection is checked.
4. In the Establish connection dialog box, check the
identity of the energy manager again using the
identification number (SKI) and then select the
option Connect.
The energy manager is successfully con-
nected and the status Energy manager con-
nected is displayed.
The energy manager settings (e.g. charging
current, overload protection and optimized
charging, as well as tariff settings) are ap-
plied to the charger.
Disconnecting the connection to the energy man-
ager:
1. Navigate to Connections e Energy manager in
the charger's web application.
The connected energy manager is displayed
with the status Energy manager connected.
2. Select Disconnect.
The connection between the energy man-
ager and the charger is disconnected.
