Vision Expansion Module Supplies Needed. ( IO-DI8-R08)

[Cordell Musser]

Hello,

This is probably not the place to look for parts but I thought I would try. 

I am coming up short on (12) expansion modules ( IO-DI8-R08) or (IO-DI8-T08) and I am having a hard time locating some within my needed time frame. My dealer is saying 4-6 weeks from Unitronics.  Anyone know of a stocking supplier to check out within the US? 

Thanks.

Cordell, although not quite the way you planned, perhaps you could use the IO-D16A3-TO16 variations instead.  It might actually work out cheaper for you, as the EX variant is an adapter. These I/Os aren't known a lot, but can be found here under I/O expansion modules  /   XL Digital/Analog:

cheers, Aus

and a later edit,   In saying this, I was thinking that you might have been having a few of the 8s, so that 1 x 16 would = 2 x 8.  But if you're only wanting one 8 per job, then please ignore the suggestion!

The EX-D16A3-RO8 module would work for you and save you the cost of the EX-A2X. The EX-D16A3-RO8 is still a bit more than a EX-A2X + IO-DI8-RO8, but might be more readily available. (This is what Ausman is suggesting above)
