Paradigm Hardware Compatibility and supported firmware / software versions

Introduction

The information below outlines which versions of Paradigm software/firmware each Paradigm hardware is compatible with. Typically this is delineated by the product's part number, but in a few cases the serial number will be the key to knowing what software version is compatible. Generally this page is only updated when new hardware is released or discontinued, or there is a change in software compatibility.

This article was last updated on December 6, 2024 to include the Paradigm v5.1.3 Bundle with P-TS7 v5.1.4 patch, as well as P-TS7 v4.2.11 and v5.0.0 patches, for the release of P-TS7 R2 hardware. The current version for each hardware platform is listed in the individual section introductions.

Products with a blue background denotes currently shipping hardware.

Processors / Servers

The versions listed are those that can run directly on the processor or server.

Current P-ACP / P-CCS software is v5.1.3.

*P-CCS R1 does not support the Energy Management feature available in v4.0.0 and higher
**P-CCS R5 does not have a LCD on the front like R2/R3, but supports the same features. It shares software compatibility with the R3.

Station Power Supplies

The P-NSPS-D is currently the only station power supply that contains software and thus has a compatibility requirement, which is the Processor version. All other P-SPM/P-REP variants contain no software, and thus will work with all versions of P-ACPs and Lon stations. All serial numbers of a particular part number share the same version compatibility.

Current P-NSPS-D software is v1.1.0.

Touchscreens & Touchscreen Interfaces

The versions listed are those that are directly loaded on the touchscreen/interface hardware. All serial numbers of a particular part number share the same version compatibility. The Wireless Access Station (P-LCD-WAS) is un-serialized.

Current P-TS7 / WAS / DOCK firmware is v5.1.4.

Stations / Responsive Controls

The versions listed below are the Processor versions the stations shipped alongside and are compatible with. The stations themselves run firmware versions that differ from the overall Paradigm bundle version and - except where noted - all station firmware versions are compatible with the listed Paradigm version. All stations are un-serialized.

All stations listed below are currently shipping except for 1-gang Heritage portable stations (which we stopped selling around mid-2021).
