Dancy51 Posted October 17, 2020 Share Posted October 17, 2020 I volunteered to help set up a Christmas light show that uses LOR units. I have no prior experience with LOR but have worked on Allen Bradley industrial controllers. I am going through their LOR equipment and found a standard metal box with a label that says LOR1602W but when I opened the box it looks nothing like pictures of that model. Instead it has a controller board marked MC-PX and two 8-channel boards marked MC-TB08 V1. I can't find any information on this unit. Can someone tell me what this is?

Don Posted October 17, 2020 Share Posted October 17, 2020 To me it has the markings of a very, very, very old controller. Possibly one of the first types that came out. I've been around LOR for 15 or so years, and do not ever recall one like that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. P Posted October 17, 2020 Share Posted October 17, 2020 (edited) In the top left of the pic on the board it says Light-O-Rama something something V1. That should tell you what it is. Edited October 17, 2020 by Mr. P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dancy51 Posted October 18, 2020 Author Share Posted October 18, 2020 This is becoming even more intriguing trying to identify this unit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dancy51 Posted October 22, 2020 Author Share Posted October 22, 2020 Received this from Light-O-Rama help desk: ... That is a very old device. Perhaps 15-16 years old. I am having a problem locating documentation for it. But it would work very similar to the CTB16D which combined those three boards into a single board. The biggest difference was that MX-PX did not have any firmware upgrade capacity. ... I have an antique! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. P Posted October 22, 2020 Share Posted October 22, 2020 Maybe LOR needs to start a museum. 😁 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
