AC Charging Pile OCPP Function Configuration: Complete Step-by-Step Setup Guide

 

OCPP (Open Charge Point Protocol) is the core standard for remote management and control of electric vehicle chargers. Proper OCPP configuration ensures your AC charging pile connects stably to the cloud platform, supports remote start/stop, data monitoring and operation management.

 

This guide walks you through the full OCPP configuration process for AC charging piles, matching the actual operation steps on the charger screen.

 

⚠️ Important Precondition

Before starting configuration, the Charger NO. must be pre-registered and bound on your OCPP platform - this is required for successful connection.

 

Step 1: Enter System Settings

Power on the AC charging pile

Click the Settings icon in the top right corner of the screen

Enter the settings menu to start configuration

 

Step 2: Configure Basic Parameters

Select Basic Parameter in the menu

Set the Charger NO. (must be pre-configured on OCPP platform)

Keep default values for rated current, load balancing current, meter number

You can set installation time and monetary unit as needed

Save the basic parameter settings

 

Step 3: Set Communication Data

Go to Communication Data Configuration

Enter the OCPP platform URL:

ws:// = unencrypted connection

wss:// = encrypted connection (TLS)

Fill in WiFi name/password if using WiFi network

For 4G mode, enter APN, APN Name & APN Password provided by your local network operator

Confirm and save the communication settings

 

Step 4: Basic Function Configuration

Enter Basic Function menu

Set Charging Mode to Online Version (required for OCPP remote control)

Select Net Mode: WiFi / LAN / 4G

Set TLS Encryption based on your URL format (ON for wss://, OFF for ws://)

Enable PEN Protection & Ground Detection as needed

Save the function settings

 

Step 5: Set Unique HTTP Identification Code

Return to Basic Parameter Configuration

Enter the unique HTTP identification code of the charging pile

Save the settings

 

Step 6: Restart & Verify Connection

Return to the home screen and restart the charging pile

A new QR code will appear (for user APP scanning)

Use the operation APP to test OCPP remote start/stop control

Check connection status on the OCPP platform

 

Final Notes

Always confirm the Charger NO. is bound on the OCPP platform before configuration

Match TLS encryption with your URL type (ws/wss)

4G connection relies on correct APN parameters from your local carrier

Restart the charger after configuration to activate all settings

With proper OCPP configuration, your AC charging pile will support full remote management, stable data upload and standardized operation.
