S series Serial cards

I am going out on a limb here and hoping that Emerson ahs come out with a serial card that has more than 16 datasets available. I have a feeder system that has 4 feeders attached to one device and all 4 have 4 datasets each. So I have all 16 datasets accounted for. The problem is I am adding another feeder but I need 4 more datasets. Does anybody have any suggestions (magic 256 dataset serial card)?

  Take a look at this product data sheet, not sure what revision you are on but it requires v13.

  Thanks Matt. We are on 11.3 but will be upgrading soon. May be an option for us.

  The serial card has two ports. Each supports 16 devices/16 dataset.
  
  The VIM2 installs with your existing controller and emulates 4 Serial cards, which delivers 256 datasets. This is available for all DeltaV versions.
  
  The EIOC is available to v13 systems. It is ideal for integrating subsystems and devices . Up to 256 devices.
  
  The VIM and EIOC are MODBUS TCP while the Serial card is RS 232 or 485. Gateways and converters can easily bridge between physical protocols.
  
  Seems you should be able to add one device to your existing serial card.
