UWP-DLB overview
UWP-DLB is a local controller for the dynamic load management (DLM) of EV chargers.
It is designed to be installed onsite, local to the EV chargers, where it:
-
Monitors OCPP messages relating to charging limits
-
Monitors energy use on-site using a meter using TCP/RS485 (optional)
-
Automatically adjusts the EV charger limits so that the load is balanced to the site
-
Works with single and three phase systems
-
Works with AC and/or DC chargers
-
UWP-DLB can be configured locally or remotely using its website interface
-
Support for whitelists of RFIDs (when used without a CSMS)
-
Downloading of transactions is now supported in CSV and NEM12 format
-
Supports grouping of chargers for separate cable run limits, and priority channels
-
Network proxy allows access to configure other 3rd party IP devices using UWP-DLB
UWP-DLB is designed to be used in two scenarios:
-
Online: As a local load balancer, authorizing transactions through a cloud-based charge station management system (CSMS). Provides backup of transactions in the event of an internet outage.
-
Offline: As a local load balancer with local authorization. In this mode RFID tags whitelist are used.
