For installations that do not require ‘pay for use’ charging, fleet management, or sophisticated event-based load management for numerous charge stations, iCS provide a free to use software platform for configuring and using charge station(s) through a smartphone or tablet. The ICS2.0Lite software is preconfigured as standard to the intelligent range of iCS charge stations (excluding the ICSW7B) enabling straightforward connection through the WiFi hotspot created by the charge station. There are two distinct password-protected login areas for Engineer & Driver use. Engineer: The Engineer area allows for full configuration of the charge station for online or offline use. Many of the default settings will not require changing, however full flexibility of control is permitted. Driver: For Drivers to access this the charge station will need to be connected to the ICS2.0Lite backend. For greater connectivity options, many of the iCS intelligent charge stations now have added WiFi capability, resulting in a straightforward process by using the owner’s broadband connection. Subsequently, there is also the option to connect by Ethernet cable or with a data-only sim card. Once connected the software allows for full control of the charge station, including starting/stopping charge sessions, the timing of charge sessions to coincide with lower energy tariffs, and viewing of historic charge session information.
