- Monitor vehicle connected status
- Monitor EVSE active/inactive status
- View advanced EVSE diagnostics information
- System defaults to hardwired digital load management if serial communication is lost
The digital load management interface features four levels of output power control and optically-coupled open collector output — pulled low when EVSE makes power available for charging.
COSMOS allows users to easily add EV charging to existing building and energy management or other control infrastructure.
