3. Commissioning
To install the KEBA charging station, please follow the instructions in the "KeContact KC-P30 Charging Station Installation Manual". |
The "Configuration Manual" for the x-series should also be read and internalized: |
This quick guide refers to the original user manuals. |
3.1. Ethernet connection
The network connection is made via the LSA terminal block X4.
Please note that the Ethernet connection X3 (here: RJ45) was designed as a service port. This is not suitable for a permanent, stable connection to the Heckert Solar Energy Management System. |
To connect to the LSA terminal block X4, the network cable must be disconnected and the cables need to be connected to pins 1-4.
The assignment type of the customer network must be observed.


After connection to the customer network, the wallbox is assigned an IP address using DHCP. This IP address can be determined in the DHCP server, e. g. the router, or can be read on the display when the wallbox is started.

An IP address can only be assigned via DHCP if the DIP switches of the second switch panel D2.1 to D2.4 are set to "OFF". |
To be able to access the wallbox via its IP address for testing purposes, your computer must be in the same network. Open an internet browser and enter the IP address identified.
Example: http://123.123.123.123
After entering your login data (included in the scope of delivery), a website opens that looks like this:

The Keba x-series web interface offers numerous settings. Among other things, RFID card authorizations can be managed and an automatic charging report, which is used to bill the charging sessions, can be created. Further information is found in the configuration manual for the KEBA x-series: Configuration manual — KEBA x-series
3.2. Configuration of the DIP switches
Various settings such as IP assignment and control can be made via the DIP switches. In the following illustration you can see the two positions of the switches.

The DIP switches can be accessed by removing the front cover. Here you will find two different switch panels, which are explained in more detail below.

We differentiate here between the top panel "DSW1" and the bottom panel "DSW2".
3.2.1. Setting the charging station control functions
The first three DIP switches on the upper DSW1 panel are used to control and forward signals from the charging station.
Of these three switches we only need D1.3, which is used to activate the SmartHome interface via UDP, allowing the EMS to set the charging specifications for the charging station via the UDP protocol. D1.1 and D1.2 remain in the "OFF" position.

3.2.2. Setting the permissible amperage
DIP switches D1.6 - D1.8 are used to set the permissible current, which determines the maximum charging power of the charging station, provided the vehicle to be charged supports this charging power.

3.2.3. Further DIP switches
However, all other DIP switches have no function in conjunction with the EMS or can influence the connection, e. g. D2.8.
They therefore remain in the "OFF" switch position after commissioning.

3.2.4. Charging network
The Keba KeContact P30 c-series can be used as a slave in a charging network with a Keba KeContact P30 x-series. In this case, the x-series takes over the management of the RFID authorization. To enable communication between the charging stations, the DIP switch D2.5 must be activated on all charging stations (x-series and c-series). In addition, the c-series must have received a dynamic IP address from the DHCP server. If there is no charging network (only one charging station is available), the DIP switch D2.5 does not need to be activated.

3.3. § 14a of the German Energy Industry Act (EnWG)
From 01/01/2024, all wallboxes & charging stations in the private sector must be controllable by the grid operator in accordance with § 14a of the German Energy Industry Act. Depending on the manufacturer, your wallbox can be dimmed to the required 4.2 kW charging power and/or switched off for the required period of time.
Currently, the proper dimming of wallboxes & charging stations is not achieved via the Heckert Solar energy management, but via solutions provided by the wallbox manufacturers. |
Prerequisites
All §-14a-compliant KEBA KeContact Series that can be integrated into the EMS Online Monitoring are listed below.
Wallbox model type |
§-14a conformity (e. g. potential-free contact X1, Modbus TCP, OCPP) |
---|---|
KEBA KeContact P30 X-Series |
|
KEBA KeContact P30 C-Series |
|
KEBA KeContact company car wallbox |
|
KEBA KeContact PV Edition |
A KEBA KeContact can currently be properly integrated into the Energiemanagement System via the potential-free contact X1. |
Connection of the control box
The device is configured via the potential-free contact X1 of the compatible KeContact charging station.
Connect the control box to the input and output terminals of the potential-free contact X1 as shown in the [Circuit diagram for the potential-free contact X1].

To enable control by external components (here: control box), the DIP switch D1.1 must be set to "ON".
The wallbox then needs to be restarted.

Setting up the EnWG-compliant amperage
From software version 1.18 or firmware version 3.10.56, the available charging current for the KeContact P30 series can be set to 0 A or 6 A in accordance with EnWG using the DIP switches.
In software version 1.17.2, the EnWG-compliant current was predefined to 8 A. For further information, please refer to the KEBA KeContact manuals or visit KEBA KeContact FAQ. |
To reduce the charging current to a specific value, set DIP switch D2.6 to the desired position.

Activating DIP switch D1.1 results in new dependencies for starting a charging process using RFID authorization. |

Die Konfiguration ist hiermit abgeschlossen.
4. Install Symphon-E App KEBA KeContact P30 x-series
In the Symphon-E App Center you will find all installable Symphon-E Apps — such as the Symphon-E App KEBA KeContact P30 x-series.
In the user manual Symphon-E App Center you will find detailed instructions on how to use the Symphon-E App Center. It also describes how to register and redeem a license key. |
There are two ways to install an app via the Symphon-E App Center. Only the [Direct installation] is described below, whereby a license key is registered and redeemed in the EMS.
4.1. Direct Installation
To install the Symphon-E App KEBA KeContact P30 x-series directly, go to the overview of the Symphon-E App Center.
Only apps from the "Available" category can be installed. |

Select the Symphon-E App KEBA KeContact P30 x-series by clicking on it.

You will then be taken to the app overview.

Click on the "Install app" button.

An input mask for redeeming a license key appears.

You have two options here.
4.1.1. Redeem already registered license key
If you want to redeem an already registered license key, select it (1). Then click on the button of the same name to redeem the selected license key (2).

4.1.2. Redeeming a new license key
If you have not yet registered a license key or wish to redeem a new license key, enter the 16-digit key in the corresponding field (1) and then click on "Validate license key" (2). The entered license key is then checked for validity.

If the license key is valid, it can be redeemed by clicking on the button of the same name. If the license key is recognized as invalid, please check your entry and try again.

You will then be taken to the installation wizard for Symphon-E App KEBA KeContact P30 x-series.

Some of the input fields are pre-filled. Nevertheless, enter your data if it differs from the default values (e. g. IP address). Otherwise, the default values can be retained (e. g. port, Modbus unit ID).
Mandatory fields are marked with * |
Check your entries and make sure that they are correct. Otherwise the respective app will not work properly! |
Then click on "Install app".

Once the installation process is complete, the new app appears in the overview of the Symphon-E App Center in the "Installed" category.
4.2. Edit EMS app
Apps that have already been installed can be subsequently edited to change configuration settings. To do this, select the respective app in the Symphon-E App Center overview and click on the "Edit app" button. Detailed instructions are found in the user manual Symphon-E App Center. |
