cconkol Posted May 30, 2018 Share Posted May 30, 2018 I have a dozen or so ctb16pc controllers that i'm trying to figure out whether they are gen 1 or gen 2. I know that gen 3 controllers have the led light on the other side but what are the differences between gen 1 and 2? I'm not currently able to hook them up to lor software.

Should say right in the controller. Also some marked Gen 2 are actually Gen3’s. I have a few of them. Instead of an LCD light the gen 1’2’s will have the dome style (incandescent looking light) JR Edited June 1, 2018 by dibblejr Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Orville Posted June 16, 2018 Share Posted June 16, 2018 Not sure what the last revision of firmware is, but if the Gen 1 and Gen 2 controllers have been updated with the last firmware update, that's another way to tell. The version or revision of the firmware should give an indication. I know all my controllers have 4.4.0 firmware, so I think they all all Gen 2 controllers if memory serves. I'd have to re-investigate the firmware page on the LOR site to see what controllers it works in, I think Ver. 4.4.0 was for Gen 2, I had a Gen 1 at one time and could not install the 4.4.0 firmware in it. Other than that I think like someone else stated, I think it's etched on the PCB somewhere Just opened my CTB16PC boxes up, mine are etched on the PCB at the very bottom and centered, it's where the cat5 cables come in and the dangles and power cords exit the box. "CTB16PC V2", not sure if V2 and Gen 2 mean the same thing or not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I believe they are whatever come from LOR and I know have not been updated since 2015 if there was an update -Do version's 1 & 2 work with all new software?

PhilMassey Posted July 21, 2020 Share Posted July 21, 2020 All the versions work with the S5 software. However, only version 3 controllers can operate on the High speed ELOR network, This means no motion effects for those channels.I just leave mine on the old black adapter on the low speed settings.
