bdarden Posted July 10, 2014 Report Share Posted July 10, 2014 Does the SAMBA support expansion IO? If so, does it use the RS232 port, and which modules are supported? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dan Posted July 10, 2014 Report Share Posted July 10, 2014 Hi bdarden, The samba does not support expansion IO. Only the remote adapter, the EX-RC1. thanks, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michael_P Posted July 10, 2014 Report Share Posted July 10, 2014 The Samba does not have a traditional expansion port for I/O, If you do have the need for additional I/O with this unit you can include the EX-RC1 module which can connect to our additional expansion I/O modules. You will use the device net cable (CANbus) to connect the 2 units. I hope this helps awnser your configuration question. Thank you Mike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MVP 2023 Joe Tauser Posted July 11, 2014 MVP 2023 Report Share Posted July 11, 2014 How much and what kind of expansion do you need? Is it in the local panel or remote? By the time you've added the CANbus card and the EX-RC1 (about $250) you have bumped the cost into the realm of a regular V350. Plus, you're very limited on the local I/O board you can choose. The SAMBA fits where you want a nice screen on a limited I/O application. I wouldn't push it past that. Joe T. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnnyK Posted September 1, 2015 Report Share Posted September 1, 2015 Hi Joe I am starting on a project using SAMBA, and have spent some time reading in the forum. I to need some more IO on samba, and was puzzled by "Is it in the local panel or remote". Do you mean that it would be possible to get more IO if it is in the local panel and not remote? Thank you.

Alexander Posted September 2, 2015 Report Share Posted September 2, 2015 The Samba does not have the ability to use the local expansion adapter to add additional I/O modules. It does have the ability to add a CANbus card to connect to the EX-RC1 remote expansion adapter that requires additional programming. Butt this is a more expensive option instead using a V350 that has the option to use the local expansion adapters that do not require additional programming.

JohnnyK Posted September 2, 2015 Report Share Posted September 2, 2015 Thank you Alexander. I have more issues on the hardware, so maby its better I make a project overview in the section "...I have a project...what hardware do I need?" And I hope you will put some words on it :-) @johnny Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alexander Posted September 2, 2015 Report Share Posted September 2, 2015 That is a great idea, I would suggest starting a new thread there for anything specific for your project. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnnyK Posted September 9, 2015 Report Share Posted September 9, 2015 Hmmm, I put in my hardware question in the other thread, but it has not been accepted and shown yet, did I do something wrong? BR Johnny Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
