3 series card frame


Heath Vomer
 

Can anyone give me a compelling reason to spend extra money on the 3-series card frame and cards when I can get the same features in a slaved CP2e? Need to add Com, IR and relays to an MC3 and a Cresnet slaved CP2e seems like a pretty solid choice for less money.

Allot less money!!! 1/2 price... Yeah, I mean come on! $1800 vs. $3700.
When I first saw the pricing on that I thought it was a little ridiculous.

Speed/Throughput to the MC3 on the RS-232 ports if the RS-232 devices on the CP2E are particularly chatty is the only thing that jumps to mind

I can't imagine that 9600 baud would benefit much. I'm way more concerned about the dependability of anything that lives on the network vs simple old cresnet�
