I know that there are functions to determine RobOS vs. VC, but is there a function to determine the version of controller?  S4, S4C+ or IRC5?  If not,could we maybe get one?  Please, pretty please with sugar on top?

    I don't think that that instruction was available in pre IRC5 controllers.  Maybe not even in early IRC5.  I am not concerned with the version, but the controller version inself.  But thank you anyway.

    Or you can call procedures using late binding (%%)?
    Not really clean but should works.
    You can find new procedure in each release notes.
