Hi,
Thanks
1) These are extremely expensive. And for my case I also need to have analog inputs, which these lack.
2) I see, well that is suboptimal. I would like to switch an AC load. Duct heaters to be exact, so the switching frequency would be pretty high, given that "slow PWM" would be the way to go there. Such approach would wear out the mechanical relays quickly and would be annoyingly noisy as well. If the form factor would match then purely replacing the relays on the A6 board with SSRs would solve this. But the PCB mounted SSR cases are of different sizes as far as I could tell. (for me some low current SSRs on board would be fine, with those I could switch some 40Amps standard , DIN-rail heatsink mounted SSRs)
3) "just software firmware supported," This would mean that the extender only works with the KCS firmware?
Thanks
