Intelligent and convenient charging station management: Optimize the operation of your charging infrastructure with CHARX manage (previously EV Charging Suite). The scalable software suite is the interface between the electric vehicle driver, charging park operator, building management system, and backend provider.
Your advantages
- Integrated load management prevents costly failures and ensures the availability of the charging park
- Easy commissioning, configuration, and monitoring of the charging park via web browser
- Intuitive touch operation for the electric vehicle driver at the central terminal
- Future-proof and flexible with scalable licenses and the easy addition of new charging points
- Flexible connection to building management and backend systems
Good reasons for charging management
Parking lots are increasingly being equipped with charging stations, each of which has to be managed
With the growing number of electric vehicles, the demand for charging options is increasing. Parking lots and parking garages are therefore increasingly being equipped with charging stations.
The planners, constructors, and operators of such charging parks are faced with the challenge of ensuring the optimum charging power for each charging point with the limited on-site grid connection. At the same time, a high degree of availability and safety must be ensured, taking other loads and generators into consideration.
The CHARX manage, our scalable software solution, allows you to overcome this challenge. Manage up to 50 charging points and optimize their operation.

Distribute power intelligently
The highly efficient load management ensures the equal distribution of the available connected load to up to 50 AC and DC charging points. This protects your grid connection against overload and the distribution grid against unbalanced loads.
Prioritize users as needed
Instead of equal distribution of the charging power to all charging points, you can prioritize individual users based on four levels ranging from high to low. This can be useful for short-stay or VIP guests, for example.
Connect backend services
Connect to cloud-based services via the integrated Open Charge Point Protocol (OCPP). These services include user authorization as well as the transfer of charging data for billing purposes, for example.
Couple the charging park and the building
If the charging stations are part of the building infrastructure, it makes sense to connect them to building management system. The system dynamically allocates the available charging current through the charging park based on the needs of the other loads.
Convenient control
Your charging park can be commissioned, configured, controlled, and monitored using a web browser.
With just a few clicks, you can manage users and charging points, authorize charging processes, and perform many other tasks – whether from a conventional desktop PC setup or while using a tablet on the go over a secure VPN connection.
The intuitive web interface combines all the functions required for system operators, service technicians, and operating personnel.

Keep track
The dashboard provides you with a quick overview. It shows the status of each charging point and the energy charged. You can authorize or terminate charging processes manually.
Configure load circuits
Very large charging parks or distributed installations can be split into two load circuits. You can configure the parameters, such as the connected load or unbalanced load limitation, separately for each load circuit.
Add charging points
You can easily add new charging points simply by configuring their parameters, such as load circuit assignment, charging controller type, IP address, type of charging, and electrical values. You can therefore extend your charging park flexibly.
Add local users
Issue charging authorizations to users at the local level by assigning RFID tags to them. As an option, you can specify the expiration date and priority of users. Alternatively, authentication takes place via OCPP with the billing provider.
Export charging data
The energy and transaction data for all charging processes can be exported in CSV format for local billing or diagnostics. For example, this allows you to evaluate the utilization of your charging park over longer periods of time.
Charging made easy
If desired, users of your charging stations can be led through the process at a central terminal via touch screen, from authorization to completion of the charging process.
CHARX manage records all relevant energy and transaction data during the charging process and stores it in a local SQL database before transferring it to the backend provider via OCPP.
The touch interface can also be customized with your logo and preferred colors on request, making it an integral part of the uniform branding concept and image for your charging park.

Authorization
The user obtains authorization using an RFID card, for example.
Select the charging point
The user then selects an available charging point.
Connect the vehicle
The user is asked to connect their vehicle via a charging cable.
Charge the vehicle
During the charging process, values such as the current charging power are displayed.
Clever connection
As an option, you can connect CHARX manage to a building and energy management system. Emalytics from Phoenix Contact is the ideal solution for this.
By dynamically specifying the maximum charging current and exchanging additional real-time data, you can optimize the interaction between the building and the charging park, thereby avoiding peak loads.
You can therefore charge your electric vehicles in a CO2-neutral manner with self-generated photovoltaic electricity. At the same time, you can make sure that sufficient energy is reserved for loads in the building.

Visualize charging processes intelligently
With Emalytics, your charging park is seamlessly integrated into building management. The future-oriented REST interface allows maximum transparency for the status and characteristics of your charging stations, as well as flexible control.
Distribute energy intelligently
Monitoring and analysis of all generation and consumption data allow predictable, demand-oriented provision and distribution of energy. This safeguards operation, minimizes losses, and optimizes costs.
Use electric cars as storage
Using electric vehicles as mobile energy storage may be the answer to avoiding costly peak loads in the future. We are already working on the development of vehicle-to-grid and vehicle-to-building solutions.
Connect existing systems easily
As an alternative to Emalytics, CHARX manage can also be connected to other building systems. Here, dynamic charging current is limited by I/Os using switching or analog actuators.
