How to integrate EVlink integration into PME2023?

Issue

Now that you can integrate EVlinks into PME2023, do you need extra device licences for PME? If so are they entry, mid-range or high end? Also is the EV component native to PME2023 or is it an add-on module?

Resolution

There are two solutions for this. With and without using EVCE. Please see below:

With EVCE: A smart connector extension has been developed for communication between PME 2023 and EVCE. A smart connector core framework license and the license for the specific EVCE extension are required. No device licenses are required, as PME does not connect to EVCE as a device in MC. The benefit is that we can bring in all of the charger device connected through EVCE this way.

Without EVCE: PME connects to the charger devices individually. EVLink Pro AC is a supported device in PME. For other charger models supporting Modbus, the device type will need to be manually created in PME Device Type Editor. You can find the PME Device Support Matrix in the Exchange Extranet. EVLink Pro AC is an entry device license.
