Setting up the ECOPRO Gen4

Connections, power, adding it to your account, remote stop and what is still in development.

Reviewed by Daniel Morales, founder of Reprorace SL, on

Important: The ECOPRO Gen4 is at prototype stage: its diagnosis and write functions are not released yet. This guide describes the planned setup and what the platform already offers; it will grow with each validation.

1. Connections

ConnectorWhat it is for
Vehicle port (DB-44)Connects to the vehicle with the DB-44 to OBD cable, always included. There are cables for trucks and ISOBUS (9- and 6-pin Deutsch), universal probes and the bench.
Female OBD socketTo plug in your workshop's diagnostic tool and work through the ECOPRO Gen4.
USB-CPower over USB Power Delivery and connection to the PC.
Accessory portFor additional modules (Pro version only).

2. Power

  • It is powered by the vehicle through pin 16 of the OBD connector and detects by itself whether it is 12 or 24 V; it can also be powered over USB-C.
  • It warns if the voltage drops below 11.5 V (23 V on 24 V) and protects itself below 9 V (18 V). Cranking the engine does not cut it.
  • Programming requires a stable 12.5 V (25 V on 24 V) or a connected charger. The thresholds are set by the Hub and reach the unit signed.

3. Adding it and keeping an eye on it

  1. Add it to your account in Tools › Add a unit with the 16-character claim code, like any other unit (guide “Adding a unit to your account”).
  2. In the unit's details you see its version and the “Remote stop of the unit” panel.
  3. “Stop” halts what it is doing; “Emergency stop” (with confirmation) also cuts an ECU programming. The result shows as applied, not applied or unknown: if unknown, check on site.

4. Pro and Base versions

Both use the same board. The Pro can act as a network's main unit and accepts accessories; the Base cannot, and has fewer automotive Ethernet ports.

5. What is not available yet

  • The unit's own diagnosis, ECU writing and programming: disabled until validated.
  • Local PassThru over USB, ISOBUS and DoIP in the diagnosis application: in development.
  • Connecting to the workshop network and the meaning of the lights will be explained here once the unit is released.

Tip: The remote stop does not replace the physical emergency stop of the machine or the bench.
