What are my options for expanding a SLC 5/04 system?

Perhaps you already know, but if your using the 32 bit cards, you can buy these ribbon cable terminal block units from I believe Phoenix Contact. They mount on din, and obviously will make dealing with these 32 bit cards/ribbon cables easier. I ordered the card without doing my homework first, and thankfully these were available otherwise I'd just be ****ed right now.

good luck

Thanks. Yes, we're aware of the ribbon cable/terminal blocks. The fella doing the hardware work has figured out how he's going to do this.

Your replies are much appreciated folks!
