Description

OCPP 2.x.x has a flexible transaction mechanism that allows the transaction start and stop points to be configured differently. This test covers one of the start options.

Purpose

To verify if the Charging Station starts a transaction when the EV and EVSE are connected and it has been configured to do so.

Prerequisite(s)

  • The Charging Station does NOT have the following configuration; The mutability of TxStartPoint is ReadOnly AND (the value EVConnected is NOT set OR ParkingBayOccupancy is set).
  • If the mutability of TxStartPoint is ReadWrite, then the value EVConnected must be supported.

Before (Preparations)

Configuration State:

  • If the mutability of TxStartPoint is ReadWrite then TxStartPoint contains EVConnected

Memory State:

  • N/a

Reusable State(s):

  • State is ParkingBayOccupied

Main (Test scenario)

Charging StationCSMS
Manual Action: Connect the EV and EVSE.
1. The Charging Station notifies the CSMS about the status change of the connector.2. The OCTT responds accordingly.
3. The Charging Station sends a TransactionEventRequest4. The OCTT responds with a TransactionEventResponse

Tool validations

Step 1:

Message: StatusNotificationRequest

  • connectorStatus must be Occupied Message: NotifyEventRequest
  • eventData[0].trigger must be Delta
  • eventData[0].actualValue must be Occupied
  • eventData[0].component.name must be Connector
  • eventData[0].variable.name must be AvailabilityState

Step 3:

Message: TransactionEventRequest

  • eventType must be Started
  • triggerReason must be CablePluggedIn or ChargingStateChanged
  • evse must be provided
  • evse.connectorId must be provided
  • transactionInfo.chargingState must be EVConnected

Post scenario validations

  • N/a
