If your RFID card wasn’t recognized and charging didn’t work, follow these steps to check and resolve the issue:

Step 1: Find the Charging Station ID

  1. Go to the Home Dashboard.

  2. Locate the charging station ID where charging with the ID failed.

  3. Copy the charging station ID (Ctrl + C).

Step 2: Check the OCPP Logs

  1. Navigate to the OCPP Logs.

  2. Select the site where charging with the ID didn’t work.

Step 3: Search for the Authorize Action

  1. Use the search function in the OCPP Logs and search for the action “Authorize”. This is the OCPP request sent for authorizing a charging session.

  2. Add the charging station ID (copied from the Home Dashboard) to the search to narrow down the results.

  3. Set the date filter to the time frame when the charging attempt failed.

Step 4: Review the Log Message

  1. Click on the relevant Authorize message that was sent to the charging station at the time of the issue.

  2. Check the response of the charging station in the OCPP Log:

  • If the RFID card wasn’t accepted, the response status will show “Invalid”.

Note: The status “Invalid” means the RFID card wasn’t authorized for use at that charging point at the given time.

Step 5: Activate the RFID Card

  1. Go to the RFID Management section.

  2. Add the RFID card for the corresponding location.

  3. Copy the id_tag directly from the Authorize Log message and paste it into the field.
