+====== EV fleet ======
+RDX charger supports connection of up to 8 RDX Chargers - EV fleet.\\
+In such configuration only one RDX Charger (master) is in charge of other connected chargers (slave).\\
+Master RDX Charger monitors:\\
+  * current draw by other slave chargers and in real time allocates (limits) available capacity allowing them to charge without overloading,
+  * data from slaves such as power, energy & settings and synchronize them with cloud service, therefore no need for extra [[wiki:20_rdc_charger:15_hardware:10_linker|IOT linker]] on slave RDX Charger.
+**Note:** If there is no grid power sensor, master charger enables limiting of complete ev fleet by virtual grid power sensor.\\
+:!: Only one RDX charger is master in ev fleet !
+=== Procedure to set RDX Charger as slave is as follows: ===
+  * [[wiki:20_rdc_charger:30_software:start#evse_overview|RDX Charger]] -> set Max current (1)
+  * RDX Charger -> enable "EVSE works as slave" (2) Master SN presents serial number of master charger, it will appear once connection is established.
+  * RDX Charger -> set current if connection with master is lost (3)
+  * [[wiki:20_rdc_charger:30_software:start#hems_configurator|HEMS Configurator]] -> settings -> set static IP (it's recommended) (4)
+  * HEMS Configurator -> limiter -> set "No limiter" for RDX Charger (5)

+=== Procedure to set RDX Charger as master is as follows: ===
+  * [[wiki:20_rdc_charger:30_software:start#hems_configurator|HEMS Configurator]] -> settings -> output column -> select "EVSE RDX external" at desired position (1). Note that "EVSE inter." is reserved and can't be changed!
+{{wiki:20_rdc_charger:hems_config_cluster_02.png?direct&800|}}
+  * HEMS Configurator -> settings -> enter name and select icon (2). Message "Error - device is not responding" may appear as IP address is not defined yet.
+{{wiki:20_rdc_charger:hems_config_cluster_03.png?direct&800|}}
+  * HEMS Configurator -> limiter:
+  * (3) enter allowed current value of grid fuses in case of connected grid power sensor, or max current limit of complete ev fleet if there is virtual grid active
+  * (4) make sure to configure phase order for grid and RDX Chargers correct as dynamic load management may not work properly. **Double check!**
+  * (5) select limiter priority for chargers: no limiter, limit last (last to be limited), limit second, limit first (first to be limited)
+{{wiki:20_rdc_charger:hems_config_cluster_04.png?direct&800|}}
+  * HEMS Configurator -> IO mux -> enter IP address of slave RDX Charger (6). Serial number (SN) will be listed automatically once connection is established.
+{{wiki:20_rdc_charger:hems_config_cluster_05.png?direct&800|}}
+  * HEMS Configurator -> ev fleet:\\ (7) master RDX Charger,\\ (8) connected slave RDX Charger with enabled control by master (green tick) and\\ (9) connected slave RDX Charger with disabled control (red X) -> master can not control it! To enable control, run RDX Charger app on slave charger and enable "EVSE works as slave".
