Grid Router R1
Grid Router R1: The powerful all-in-one solution for future energy management and EV charging!
Grid Router R1 is the market’s most innovative, powerful and versatile router for electrical installations and applications. It is specifically designed to meet the high demands of professional electric vehicle charging and smart power management in the building and industry. It is not just a router, but a complete Linux platform for control, measurement and communication. A “Swiss army knife” for charging infrastructure.
That's why Grid Router R1 is unique!
1. Made for electrical environments.
Grid Router R1 is designed for electrical environments and applications. It can be connected directly to the distribution center thanks to its Overvoltage Category 3 rating without additional components. Compact installation taking only 4 module slots. Measures voltage on three phases and current with direction via current coils up to 4000A. Connect up to 32 RS485 devices full duplex directly. Unlike many other solutions, the Grid Router R1 works with cloud solutions but also locally without cloud. It provides control, greater flexibility and increased security.
2. Smart connectivity - where you need it
Router with DHCP and firewall with built-in 4G with space for nano SIM cards, dual channels for superimposed Ethernet, wired Ethernet or WiFi connects Grid Router R1 easily to the Internet in most environments. The device can also be used as a repeater for superimposed power grid communication. Distribution of connection can be superimposed over power grids, via Ethernet RJ45 or WiFi. Dual USB-C connectors for connecting external equipment, memories, dongles, etc.
3. On-board charging applications such as load balancing
Grid Router R1 has advanced features for:
- Built-in OCPP server that can control chargers of different brands directly on the Grid Router R1 local network, even in offline mode.
- High-resolution power measurement – get frequently updated measurement values as input to load balancing.
- Load balancing – controls charging in real time to avoid overloading, even with chargers from different manufacturers.
- Offline management and transactions – manage payments and user permissions with or without cloud connectivity.
- RFID orchestration of other devices
4. Billing documents and access - on your terms
With built-in support for local user management and consumption recording, you can:
- Offer charging in top security class facilities that cannot be connected. As a back-up in case of grid failure or for the highest security class facilities.
- Adding approved RFID tags.
- Retrieve consumption data for billing from the device.
5. open platform
Grid Router R1 is prepared to integrate with new applications and systems. Linux kernel with well-developed ecosystem of drivers for different hardware. Support for open chargers that support OCPP 1.6J including smart charging profile. Works with most clouds with open OCPP communication. The system can be customized and further developed together with our partners.
