The charging stations of the X, S and M series can be externally controlled by means of one integrated connection X1. Via the Smart Home Controller (SHC) app, Eaton offers a complete package of pre-selected xComfort components, as well as a matching control system for the charging stations.
The X1 contact is controlled by a potential-free output, which, when active, will cause the charging station to start the charging process.
In addition, an energy meter measuring up to 23 kW, is included. This device is used for other large loads in the house, such as a hob. This makes it possible to implement load control management. The “load shifting” and “peak shaving” principles used for this purpose interrupt the charging process during periods of high power consumption and bring the system back online once consumption levels have returned to normal. If xComfort is used in combination with the SHC xChargeIn peak control mechanism, it is possible to prioritize the supply of the more important devices at any time.
