Maybe program files(x86) depending on your operating system.Just double click on it when you find it.ok did that doing the same thing will not find the comm port 3 and won't let me change unit ID numbers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shfr26 Posted November 5, 2011 Share Posted November 5, 2011 Well, first of all, you have the adapter hooked up? Did you try the auto config on the com port? Other than those, I got nothing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paul Roberson Posted November 5, 2011 Share Posted November 5, 2011 How can you change the controller ID or update firmware on Gen 3 controllers with S2 then? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JBullard Posted November 5, 2011 Share Posted November 5, 2011 Don,Go to Lor website, open a support desk ticket.The S2 software will controll a Gen 3 controller but the Hardware Utility in S2 has problems with Gen 3 boards.Thats why I asked about your software, but got busy hereat work before I could reply.

JBullard Posted November 5, 2011 Share Posted November 5, 2011 Ok, Don. :)I have a feeling that as more Gen 3 controllers are shipped to folks still using S2 software, that this is not the last post we will see on this subject. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Don Gillespie Posted November 6, 2011 Share Posted November 6, 2011 Here is what LOR told meYou won't need to upgrade to resolve the issue. If memory serves (and without going to check) it's nothing more than the firmware of the G3 controllers not being defined in S2. There should be no side effects, just the HWU won't see the number. I thought I would post this so if anyone else comes across this we would have an answer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Don Gillespie Posted November 6, 2011 Share Posted November 6, 2011 working with LOR right at the moment to solve this issue my computer keeps telling me a comm port is opened and so I can't seem to get anything fixed still the HWU can not find the G3 contollers I have downloaded the driver for the USB485 connector still no response. will keep you posted. I do not know how to check to see what keeps a comm port open Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Don Gillespie Posted November 6, 2011 Share Posted November 6, 2011 Ok I just retried an old contoller the HWU found it in a couple of seconds but when I hooked up the new G3 it does not find it at all we will get this resolved thought I would keep you updated so if it does happen to any one else we can help them.

Greg Blauert Posted November 6, 2011 Share Posted November 6, 2011 I did my new g3 controllers last night but I upgraded the software to most current version before doing do. I had to click on Auto configure a couple of time as it was not recognizing the Comm Port, but did work just fine eventually. Did you click on Auto Configure?

JBullard Posted November 6, 2011 Share Posted November 6, 2011 Don,That has been the problem all along. LOR S2 was released way back in 2008 and 2.9.4 was released in Dec 2010. The new Gen 3 controllers did not exist then, so S2 software doesn't know what they are or that they even exist.We had to upgrade our software in Oct 2009 when the CCRs were first introduced, as the previous versions didn't know what they were.
