Power Fc Version Q

[jza80]

Hello,

I am considering a used power fc, the serial number is PFCGTR33 000-0072. Application is S1 R33 GTR

I'm wondering what revision this one is, and if there are any known issues with this build. I seem to recall that some versions were better than others, so I'd like to know about this one before I buy it!

Thanks for any help!

this is covered in the PFC FAQ in detail, there are "no known differences" between the builds

gen 1 is RB26XX-XXXXX and gen 2 is GTR33L-XXXXX or GTR33D-XXXXX and so on...

1st gen was sold as seperate hand controller and PFC

2nd gen was sold as a bundle with the same price

so you have 2nd generation

the PFC FAQ (in my sig) also covers how to unerstand the serial # and build dates etc

Thank you Sir!

I read your FAQ, very informative, it seemed to indicate this was from an early batch of the second gen. I thought there was a processor change at some point in the build of gen 2 models...not correct?

i think from memory only the GTST had a processor change, not sure if GTR did as well

even with the processor change, its the same functionality and operationalability

the only 'known' variance between the CPU models is that older older first gen units

were slow when using 3rd party tools such as datalogit, as it must update cell by cell

whereas the new PFC units supported the faster data protocol spec

its pretty rare to find a 'slow' data xfer PFC with datalogit
