18.4.7 Configuring the Keba Power Charging Stations
The Keba power charging station can be selected and configured accordingly from the Device Configurati-
on section in the Configuration | Device | Configuration menu.
Procedure:
•
Select the Keba power charging station from the drop-down menu under devices.
•
The model, address and serial number are automatically applied and cannot be modified.
•
The following configurations can be made under Charge control:
• There are different selection options for the Charge limitation function in this section:
• Not controlled - The Solar-Log™ only records the charging data without
• any control of the charging process.
• Surplus - The electric car only changes when there is enough PV power available. The So-
lar-Log™ takes the defined minimum charge level into consideration. In this case, the release
of power for the charging station corresponds to the amount of surplus.
• Surplus / minimum charge - This ensures that the car always reaches its minimum charge
level even when no PV power is available. When there is an energy surplus, the Solar-Log™
informs the charging station.
• Always charge - The Solar-Log™ allows the charging station to consume power without any
restrictions, regardless of the production or surplus levels.
• min. Charge Current [mA] - The defined minimum charging power value is taken into account.
• max. Charge Current [mA] - The defined maximum charging power value is taken into account.
Off delay [Min.] (only when used with the Charge limitation „Surplus“) - The switch-off delay
option defines when the charging process should be stopped after the previous surplus is no
longer available. This option prevents the charging process from being interrupted by short-
term fluctuations in the amount of available surplus. The time factor can be defined from 1 to 60.
• Forced charge via Switch (X1):
• Activated.
• Deactivated.
•
Select the operating mode from the meter configuration menu. The Keba power charging station
can be configured as a consumption meter or a sub-consumer.
•
Enter the description under Module Fields, Power Output and Descriptions.
•
SAVE the settings.
Note about forced charging via wall switch (X1)
If a wall switch is installed and connected to X1 on the charging station, the charging station is allowed via
the Solar-Log™ to consume the defined maximum power levels without any restrictions, regardless of the
production or surplus levels.
If a wall switch has not been installed, the Solar-Log™ configuration defined for the current limiting functi-
on can be set to „always charge.“ This also allows for charging according to the defined maximum power
level.
