7i77D availability

Hi - The 7i77D has been out of stock for a spell - anybody know if they are going to continue this version. Im tempted to use a 7i77 with relays but if the D sinking outputs is going to become available Ill hang on.
Thanks all for a great service on this forum. Good bedtime reading

How many outputs do you need?

A 7I97T may work (and if more outputs were needed a 7I84U could be added)
Should have a 7I77U (Universal outputs) available but about middle next year

Thanks for the info guys. They are no longer building the 7i77D as you have all sussed out - so Ill use the 7i77 with a bit of extra logic. I need the X6 servo interface the 7i77 gives and Ive got the current 7i77D built in so Ill pursue that path for the mo . Ill check out the 'U' options though for the future
Thanks again..

I’ve noticed the 7i77D has been out of stock too — really hoping they’ll restock that sinking output version soon. If it comes back I’d definitely stick with it instead of adding relays. Fingers crossed and thanks for all the help here
