Posted 5 Feb 2018 Check the ribbon cable connections very carefully to be sure you haven't bent a pin or torn a cable. In general, you just enter the expansion modules in the I/O configuration and the controller recognizes them. You might have a bad expansion port on the controller itself. Talk to your distributor to see if you can test your I/O modules with one of their demos. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
