Mike, Dan - thanks.
We use a bank of opto-isolators with our current controller; the
problem is that each relay draws a minimum of 18 ma @ 5V, up to
about 50 ma, depending on the particulars. THat's why I was looking
at a way to amplify what is available with the TS-7000. Sorry for
not being clear.
If anyone has a source for opto-isolators that work with the 3.3V
DIO on the TS-7000 I would appreciate it.
Thanks,
