Guest guest Posted May 20, 2006 Share Posted May 20, 2006 Can you tell me what these other boards are for or used for that are offered by LOR. I have read the descriptions on the LOR site, but still have no idea what they are for or when you would use them.CTB-08 Series Controlled Triac Board, MC-TB04H Modular Controller, MC-TB08 Modular Controller.Just curious, as I have not seen anyone mention any of these in the chatroom.

I can pull 10 amps per channel and that is with all four channels pulling 10 amps at the same time. Just make sure you power cord can handle 40 amps. The MC-TB04H requires the MC-PD Modular Controller Processor to run it.The MC-TB08 is is a low amp board that requires the MC-PD Modular Controller Processor to run it. The MC-PD Modular Controller Processor can run 4 of the MC-TB04H boards. This would give you the ability to pull a total of 120 amps from 16 channels.

Guest guest Posted May 21, 2006 Share Posted May 21, 2006 The MC-Px is not currently available. The old ones are discontinued. The new ones will have 32 channels. TED Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted May 21, 2006 Share Posted May 21, 2006 Do they work differently than the CTB16? I don't see them discussed on the Support page of the LOR site. Seems like it might be a less expensive alternative to buying several of the CTB16 type controllers if they do the same thing. Sorry about all the questions, just trying to figure out the advantages/disadvantages (if there are any) of one system over the other.Denny Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
