Software versions ABB AC Terra
1.3.5 is the lowest version supported.
1.5.2 has been tested and is supported by
Eponet. 1.6.5 has been tested and is supported by Eponet
. 1.7.1 is an interim version (not recommended – the charging station displays a red error LED after a vehicle is connected; must be updated to 1.8.21)
1.8.21 (recommended version) (if necessary, update first to 1.5.3 and then to 1.7.1 > only then can you update to
1.8.21. Current product information on the ABB AC Terra can be found at the following link: ABB Terra website

 

 

PIN – A PIN is included with the charging station. You must use this for connection and configuration.
Tip: Save this PIN in the Eponet Portal for each charging station. Even better, save a photo of it to avoid typing errors. The PIN is also essential for future support.

Set up the charging station via TerraConfig

The ABB Terra AC charging station is configured via the TerraConfig app using Bluetooth. 

Here, you can simply search for the link you created and select the one displayed. The serial number is automatically stored and does not need to be added to the link.

If you need to enter the OCPP link:

 

Please note: With the eponet.io OCPP link, the charging station sends the serial number without hyphens, i.e. as follows: TACW2241021G0XXX – if the charging station does not come online with Eponet, it may be that the charging station is recorded with hyphens in the Eponet portal: TACW22-4-1021-G0XXX. In that case, edit the charging station and use the “Replace charging station” button to enter the serial number without hyphens.

Important:

The charging station must have software version 1.3.5 or higher. In the TerraConfig app, under RFID, the setting “Enable external RFID” must be selected. Please make a note of the serial number of your ABB Terra charging station (e.g. TACW2241021Gxxx). You will need this serial number later in the Eponet Portal. 

Checklist:

  • Software checked / up to date?

  • Internet configured / online?

  • Free charging deactivated?

  • OCPP installed and charging station online on the Eponet Portal?

  • External RFID enabled?


Now continue with step 4.
