MQ Series 8-Wide carriers

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

  • There shouldn't be any issues. As you add the cards you'll just do partial downloads.
