Hey fellas,

Has anyone ever run across Blue Hose type cable that can be used in a festoon system?

We have a mobile storage cart that's run by an on-board SLC, but sends/receives some info from a PLC5 over a funky hardwired setup consisting of 1/2 dozen discrete lines (multiplexed binary mess). We'd love to upgrade and make the SLC a RIO drop for the 5. Any suggestions?

I've posted another question about making the SLC a RIO scanner HERE.
