We would like to add two 8-wide carriers to an existing controller. The controller in question currently has only one 8-wide carrier, we are aware of the cable length limitations and power supply loading concerns. What is unclear is can we add the new 8-wides to the controller while it is online? The carriers are mounted, populated, cabled together and wired for 24 VDC. All that's left to do is slide a right hand connector to the existing 8-wide and apply the power to the new 8-wide carriers. Any information on this subject would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Jeff Bilek
