ChargeSphere.OCPP OEM architecture Schematic representation of an OEM charging architecture: ChargeSphere.OCPP operates as an OCPP software component between the backend system and the charging station or wallbox. The highlighted frame marks ChargeSphere.OCPP, the thin line marks other architecture elements, and the dashed line marks the OEM boundary. Both the OCPP arrow and the integration arrow are bidirectional. The illustration is conceptual and does not describe a complete product scope or certification status.

OCPP software component for OEMs

ChargeSphere.OCPP

Clemios provides ChargeSphere.OCPP, an OCPP software component for manufacturers of charging stations and wallboxes. ChargeSphere.OCPP connects charging stations with backend systems and can be integrated into existing OEM architectures.

Available for OEM integration · Formal OCPP certification is still outstanding

Connection between charging station and backend

ChargeSphere.OCPP connects charging stations with backend systems and can be integrated into existing OEM architectures.

  1. Charging station

    The OEM charging-station software and hardware form the target architecture.

  2. ChargeSphere.OCPP

    The OCPP software component is integrated within the agreed OEM operational scope.

  3. Backend system

    Communication with the target system belongs to the documented integration scope.

Product scope for OEM integration projects

The released functional scope of ChargeSphere.OCPP is commercially available.

OCPP software product

ChargeSphere.OCPP is an OCPP software product for manufacturers of charging stations and wallboxes.

Defined operational scope

The functions, interfaces, project-specific modifications, and known limitations are defined and documented during technical evaluation.

Product-related support

Clemios supports agreed integration, testing, and validation activities for the defined ChargeSphere.OCPP operational scope.

Technical validation is not equivalent to formal OCPP certification, complete conformance, or universal interoperability.

Functional blocks by OCPP version

ChargeSphere.OCPP implements all standard-defined Functional Blocks of OCPP 2.0.1 and OCPP 2.1. OCPP 2.1 continues the 15 functional blocks from OCPP 2.0.1 and adds four new functional blocks. Existing functional areas may be extended or adapted in OCPP 2.1.

15 functional blocks in OCPP 2.0.1

Shared functional blocks may be extended or adapted in OCPP 2.1 compared with OCPP 2.0.1. The specific operational scope, interfaces, project-specific modifications, and known limitations are defined and documented for each OEM integration project.

Technical evaluation and integration

The OCPP version or version scopes, functions, interfaces, and project-specific modifications are defined and documented during technical evaluation.

  1. Operational scope

    The agreed ChargeSphere.OCPP operational scope forms the basis for further technical planning.

  2. Interfaces

    Required interfaces and dependencies are described for the target architecture.

  3. Modifications

    Project-specific modifications are defined within the agreed operational scope.

  4. Testing and validation

    Clemios supports agreed integration, testing, and validation activities for the defined ChargeSphere.OCPP operational scope.

Technical validation is not equivalent to formal OCPP certification, complete conformance, or universal interoperability.

Certification and technical acceptance

Product scope, technical evaluation, and acceptance are clearly separated for each OEM integration project.

Current certification status

ChargeSphere.OCPP is currently not formally OCPP-certified.

Technical acceptance

Technical acceptance of the agreed operational scope is performed by the OEM.

OEM acceptance is not formal OCPP certification and not general production or series release by Clemios.
