OCPP 2.0.1 Testing
Validate modern OCPP 2.0.1 workflows for smart charging, security, device management, and richer transaction handling before rolling them into production fleets.
What is OCPP 2.0.1 testing?
OCPP 2.0.1 testing covers the newer version of the protocol used for advanced charger and CSMS capabilities. Teams typically need to validate TransactionEvent handling, charging profiles, device model behavior, security-profile requirements, and the broader message set introduced in OCPP 2.0.1.
Supported modules and flows
- TransactionEvent-based session handling instead of separate start and stop messages.
- Charging profile, smart charging, and advanced scheduling workflows.
- Device model and variable-oriented management flows introduced in OCPP 2.0.1.
- Security-profile, certificate, and higher-assurance authentication behavior.
Best for
- Teams onboarding newer charger models with stronger security and smart charging requirements.
- Platforms preparing for ISO 15118-adjacent and advanced energy-management workflows.
- Mixed-fleet backends that need to support both OCPP 1.6 and OCPP 2.0.1 cleanly.
Example OCPP 2.0.1 transaction flow
OCPP 2.0.1 replaces the older start and stop model with TransactionEvent messages. That gives teams a richer, event-driven sequence to validate across the full session lifecycle.
Charge point -> CSMS: BootNotificationRequest
CSMS -> Charge point: BootNotificationResponse
Charge point -> CSMS: AuthorizeRequest
CSMS -> Charge point: AuthorizeResponse
Charge point -> CSMS: TransactionEventRequest (eventType=Started)
CSMS -> Charge point: TransactionEventResponse
Charge point -> CSMS: TransactionEventRequest (eventType=Updated)
CSMS -> Charge point: TransactionEventResponse
Charge point -> CSMS: TransactionEventRequest (eventType=Ended)
CSMS -> Charge point: TransactionEventResponseSupported modern charger workflows
OCPP 2.0.1 testing is most useful when teams need stronger security, smarter charging control, and richer event-driven backend validation across newer charger profiles.
| Profile | Coverage | Typical validation |
|---|---|---|
| Smart charging profiles | ChargingProfiles, scheduling, and power-management coverage | Validate schedule handling, composite logic, and backend decisioning. |
| Security-oriented deployments | Profile 1, 2, and 3 validation paths | TLS, certificates, authentication, and higher-assurance charger onboarding. |
| Mixed modern DC and AC fleets | TransactionEvent and device-model workflows | Exercise started, updated, ended events and variable-oriented management behavior. |
What to test
- TransactionEvent lifecycle coverage for started, updated, and ended events.
- Smart charging and charging profile validation.
- Device management, variables, and capability-related message flows.
- Security-profile and authentication-related workflows.
Common scenarios
Smart charging rollout
Validate charging profile logic, scheduling behavior, and backend decisioning before enabling advanced energy management in production.
Mixed-version backend support
Test OCPP 2.0.1 alongside legacy OCPP 1.6 fleets so your CSMS handles both versions cleanly.
Protocol migration
Exercise 2.0.1 message handling before onboarding new charger models or expanding into higher-security deployments.
