In this scenario the chargers are always connected between each other and the PC. 
 

A Network of EV-HCs as Satellites of a Central Unit 

The EV-HC has the ability of behaving like a public satellite connected to a central unit. Just connect to the X2 
terminal of the EV-HC the respective RS-485 cables of the satellites network. Is possible to have a network up to 
25 satellite units. 
 
In this solution, the RFID card reader is only located on the Central Unit, which also has GSM communications 
with a back office. Each satellite (EV-HC) has its meter. 
 
The actual satellites communicate between each other and with the central unit with a shielded communication 
cable of at least 3 conductors, as represented in the following figure.
