Key Features of Zaptec Chargers
Zaptec chargers incorporate several advanced capabilities to ensure efficient, safe and smart charging experiences:
- Dynamic Load Management: Automatically adjusts charging power based on overall consumption and availability to enhance energy efficiency.
- Dynamic Phase Balancing: Optimizes the distribution of electrical load across phases in real-time, improving efficiency and stability of the power supply.
- Smart Scheduling: Allows chargers to be programmed to utilize off-peak electricity rates or prioritize times of high renewable energy generation.
- User Authentication: Supports multiple authentication methods to ensure secure access and operation.
- Fault Detection and Reporting: Provides instant identification and reporting of operational issues, minimizing downtime and maintenance costs.
Choosing Your Integration Method
Zaptec supports several integration approaches, each designed to meet varying technical needs and operational scenarios:
- Cloud REST API: Provides direct access to charger data and controls through RESTful APIs. Ideal for scenarios requiring occasional data retrieval or configuration changes.
- Service Bus (AMQP): Utilizes the Advanced Message Queuing Protocol (AMQP) with Azure Service Bus for real-time data exchange and system integration. This method is highly recommended for environments where minimizing API traffic and reducing system load is crucial. Learn more about Azure Service Bus. and learn more about Service bus Subscription
- OCPP Integration: Ensures compatibility and interoperability with various network management systems using the Open Charge Point Protocol (OCPP).
We encourage integrators, particularly those developing high-volume transaction solutions or requiring real-time data, to consider the Service Bus approach to optimize performance and resource usage.
