Running out of I/O

Hello all,
I am using a cFP-2120 LabVIEW Real-Time/Ethernet Network Controller on an 8-slot backplane and I just discovered that I need more I/O-channels. What is the easiest way of fixing more I/O while retaining Real Time/ Deterministic behaviour?
 
Regards.

Hello ander939,

You can add extension I/O to you Real-Time controller with the use of one of our network interface modules (the cFP-1804(4 slot) or the cFP-1808 (8slot)).  You can access the I/O from your cFP-180x network interface module with the instructions provided here.

For more information, please see this presentation on adding expansion I/O to your real-time system.

Please let me know if you have any additional questions.
