POWERGATE RGB

A distinctive detail of Powergate is its integrated opal LED light guide. This element provides visual feedback to the User through the use of colors. Each color corresponds to a Powergate status.

Each color corresponds

  • Yellow: Powergate is ready to operate;
  • Blue: Bluetooth/Wi-Fi pairing;
  • Red: Operations in progress;
  • White: Firmware update in progress;
  • Green: Notice of operation completed;
  • Violet: Wi-Fi Module update in progress.

PRECAUTIONS

It is possible that the Powergate application will show warning messages to make sure that the User is in the best condition to proceed with the writing of the file.
Some warnings may also concern the status of the mobile device on which the application was installed, such as the battery level being too low.
It is advisable to proceed only if the smartphone battery level is enough to ensure complete control over Powergate operations, which may take several minutes.
Other warnings could concern the battery level of the vehicle and the temperature of the Powergate device

FILE ACCESS LEVEL

For each Powergate, up to 4 modified files can be uploaded. The User can access the level set in Dashboard from the Powergate Manager.
In this example, two files have been uploaded but the User will only have Level1 available for writing. This happens because of the setting that restricts its use of the second uploaded file.

ERRORS AND RECOVERY

If the Internet connection is interrupted during writing or loading LOGs, some errors may arise
In case there is a connection problem, the application will show the relevant error code and proceed to attempt reconnection up to three times. If reconnection is successful in a short time then it will be possible to continue, recovering the interrupted operation.
Instead, with other types of errors during writing, the application will ask for approval to proceed with the Recovery operation.
If this attempt also fails, a notification will be sent to the Powergate Manager which will have to send a new Recovery file.

USEFUL INFORMATIONS

  • Among the special functions, depending on the selected protocol, “DTC Display” can be found. This option can help the User to find out the existence of errors recorded in ECU before and after modification. The function is not customizable.
  • The functions of the ECU connection protocols are the same as in KESS3.
  • Checksum is calculated on the Cloud. The operation cannot be deactivated.
  • The Powergate Cloud is reserved for Powergate Managers based on the calibration code, sold as an additional service. The size of the repository is determined at the time of sale.
  • Supported Wi-Fi networks must have a bandwidth frequency of 2.4GHz.
