has added a new modular controller to its ESP controller
family. Designed to eliminate the need for replacing a controller to add
more stations, the ESP modular controller easily upgrades from four to
13 stations with the addition of three station modules that may be installed
immediately or at a later date. Its features help users save time and
make programming easier. Hot-swappable modules can be installed in any
open position while the controller is in operation.
