MEC Flex makes it possible to manually schedule a site limit for your chosen (recurring) time slots.
How it works:
- Schedule in which time slots there needs to be a limit on the chargers of a site location.
- When using other EMS products the charging station(s) will be limited to the lowest limit.
- If you have set up ‘Priority Charging’ this will be overruled by the Flex schedule. For example if the charging profile sets the limit to 0kW, a priority charger will get 0kW
- MEC Flex is controlled from the cloud. So if the connectivity is lost for more than 15 minutes, all chargers fall back to the set limit in the charging stations themselves.
- A newly inserted schedule is almost immediately acknowledged. Depending on the size of the site, there is a recalculation time, post which the newly inserted schedule is applied.
- The latest inserted Flex schedule takes priority in overlapping schedules.
