The HC controller controls the charging process in a fully
automatically and performs the following functions:
Communication with Charge APP over WLAN.
Communication with service interface over WLAN / LAN.
Analysis of the data from a connected meter.
Analysis of the monitoring system's data
Detecting the current-carrying capacity of the charging
cable with resistance coding. Unsuitable charging cables

It checks that the requirements for proper charging have
been met.
Querying an external signal (tariff switching).
It uses the CP contact to communicate with the vehicle.
Using a PWM signal, the charging current upper limit is
transmitted to the vehicle. The ground conductor
connection is checked at the same time.
Controlling the locking of the charging plug in the
charging socket (for devices with charging socket Type
2).
Controlling the charging contactor.
The HC controller provides five operating modes that can be
changed even during operation depending on the
configuration. The operating mode is selected over the
service interface or the MENNEKES Charge APP.
The availability of the operating modes and functions
depends on the version of the charging station and the
configuration of the charging station during the setting-
up process. When switching to operating mode "SCU",
the HC controller must be restarted.
Operating mode "Manual (Remote)"
In this operating mode, the charging process is controlled by
the Charge APP.
See table "Functional description of manual operating
mode (remote)" on page 32.
Operating mode "Time-Controlled (internal)"
In this operating mode, the charging process is controlled by
the integrated tariff-switching timer. This allows adapting
the available charging current to various main / off-peak
tariffs. For example, during an off-peak period the charging
station can charge with higher charging power than during
more expensive main tariff periods.
The valid tariff periods supplied by the electricity provider
are entered in the Charge APP and the charging station
adapts the charging current according to the periods
entered.
Updating the tariff-switching timer and changing of
daylight saving / standard time happen in connection
with the charge APP.
See table "Functional description for operating mode
time-controlled (internal)" on page 33.

11
Operating mode "External Tariff Signal"
In this operating mode, the charging process is controlled
over an external contact (such as a ripple control receiver).
In addition, the available charging current can be adapted to
various main / off-peak tariffs as in operating mode "Time-
Controlled"
See table "Functional description of operating mode
External Tariff Signal" on page 34.
Operating mode "Energy Manager"
In this operating mode, the charging process is controlled
over the SUNNY HOME MANAGER (www.SMA-Solar.com).
The charging station is connected to the SUNNY HOME
MANAGER over LAN / WLAN. Both devices must be on the
same network.
The SUNNY HOME MANAGER then controls the charging
power depending on the energy generated by the
photovoltaic system and user preferences.
See table "Functional description of operating mode
Energy Manager" on page 35.
Operating mode "SCU"
In this operating mode, the charging process is controlled by
a higher-level back-end system (such as MENNEKES E-
Mobility Control Panel).
The charging station is connected to a MENNEKES ACU over
RS485.
In operating mode SCU, control over Charge APP or
switching to other operating modes is not possible.

Note the following points when connecting the charging
station:
Each charging station must be connected using a
separate residual current circuit breaker (residual current
circuit breaker type A for single-phase versions, residual
current circuit breaker type B for three-phase versions).
No other circuits may be connected to this residual
current circuit breaker.
For versions Xtra E and Trend E, the residual current
circuit breaker (RCCB) must be provided on site.
For versions Xtra E, Xtra R, Trend E, Premium E and
Premium R, the circuit breaker (CB) must be provided on
site.

5.4.4 LAN connection
The charging station can be integrated into a home network
wirelessly over WLAN or wired over an Ethernet cable (RJ45).
Wireless networking
If the charging station is within range of the wireless
network, no additional wiring is required.
For more information on setting up the WLAN connection,
see the Chapter 6.2.2 "WLAN connection" on page 19.
Wired networking
If the charging station should be integrated into the home
network through Ethernet, a suitable network cable with
RJ45 plug must be routed to the charging station.
The network cable must have sufficient dielectric strength,
and be suitable for common routing with live conductors.
MENNEKES recommends using Ethernet cables type Cat 5e
or higher.
Fig. 15: Connecting the network cable
Connect the network cable:
1. Route the network cable into the charging station.
Make sure that the bending radius of the network cable
does not exceed the specified permissible value and the
network cable is not kinked.
2. Connect the plug 2of the network cable to the
network socket of the HC controller 1.
For more information on setting up the Ethernet connection,
see the Chapter 6.2 "Setting up the network connection"
on page 19.
5.4.5 Tariff-switching signal
For operating the charging station in mode "external tariff
signal", a connection to, for example, a ripple control
receiver is required.
The tariff-switching signal is connected to the HC controller
with a connector.
If the off-peak tariff is active, the tariff-switching signal
must be present at the input.
If the main tariff is active, no tariff-switching signal must
be present at the input.

2. Connect the control line as shown to the plug of the
input.
3. Insert the plug into the appropriate plug strip at the HC
controller.
When connecting the tariff-switching signal to an
external voltage source, a note conforming to national
regulations must be attached (e.g. in form of a sticker).
For further information on tariff switching, refer to the table
"Functional description of operating mode External Tariff
Signal" on page 34.

5.4.6 RS485 bus
If a higher-level back-end system (e.g. MENNEKES E-
Mobility Control Panel) should control the charging process,
the charging station must be connected to a MENNEKES
ACU over RS485 bus. The bus cable is connected to the HC
controller with a connector.

To avoid balancing currents, the shielding of the bus
cable may be earthed only on one side. This is usually
done at the ACU or E-Mobility Control Panel.
Connect the RS485 bus:
1. Route the control line into the charging station.
2. Strip the bus line and bare the shielding.
3. Connect the shielding to the terminal 1 of the plug.
4. Connect the single cores to terminals 2 and 3 (e.g. for
Siemens Profibus communication: green wire to
terminal 3, red wire to terminal 2).
MENNEKES recommends the following cables for the RS485
bus:
For installation in the ground: Siemens PROFIBUS line,
underground cable 6XV1830-3FH10 (manufacturer EAN
4019169400428).
For installation without mechanical stress: Siemens
PROFIBUS line 6XV1830-0EH10 (manufacturer EAN
4019169400312).
When using the recommended cables, trouble free
operation at bus lengths up to 300 metres can be expected.

6.2 Setting up the network connection
6.2.1 LAN connection (Ethernet)
If the charging station has been integrated into the home
network over a LAN cable (Ethernet, RJ45), no further
configuration on the network connection is usually
necessary.
The charging station receives the IP address over the DHCP
function of the customer's Internet router.
6.2.2 WLAN connection
When delivered, the internal WLAN module operates in
access point mode. This means that the charging station
provides a separate WLAN, ensuring that a connection of
the Charge APP to the charging station is possible without
on-site WLAN.
The access point mode is always active when the
charging station has not yet been integrated into a
WLAN or WLAN is not available.
6.3 Configuration of the charging station

Current smart phone browsers (iOS, Android)
6.3.1.1 Access over WLAN
In access point mode, the service interface is accessible
over http://172.31.0.1:25000.
In a home network, the charging station receives the IP
address over the DHCP function of the customer's
Internet router. You can retrieve the IP address with the
web interface of the internet router or with an app such
as the free of charge network scanner Fing.
The address looks as follows: http://AMTRONIP:25000
(e.g. http://192.168.0.20:25000).
Access is the same as for the direct connection.
6.3.2 Access over LAN
The charging station receives the IP address over the
DHCP function of the customer's Internet router. You
can retrieve the IP address over web interface of the
Internet router.
If DHCP is not available, access is possible over LAN with
IP address http://192.168.0.100:25000, network
mask 255.255.255.0.
A direct cable connection without DHCP is possible.
