How many outlets in Apex Classic

[Jyetman]

In fusion under outlets it shows 0 to 99 existing outlets. Does this mean I can't create any more virtual outlets? If I try and create more would this cause outlet corruptions and cause boot issues? My apex wasn't booting up properly for awhile had to revert to earlier firmware versions and or remove Ethernet cable to boot back up after restarts. Few days ago I bought a 3rd EB8 and no controllable outlets were created. So I read somewhere that apex classic only allows 100 outlets. When attempting to delete some virtual outlets to make room one particular one took 3 tries before it finally deleted. When the outlet deleted the apex display went blank and apex automatically rebooted. Ever since my apex has been working 100 percent properly no more boot lockups. So how did that virtual outlet get corrupted did apex try to create a 101 outlet when I was trying to create 4 additional ones and got only one? Did this cause apex to corrupt itself anyone experience this?

100 Is the max supported number of outlet. IDK if it would let you add more than 100 but I would think bad things would happen.

Oops... I just checked, and I seem to currently have 77 "outputs".

Seems to me that one of my reasons for going Apex was the number of modules it could handle - which seemed to me to be a rather high number at the time. But 100 outputs would be used up with just 13 EB8s (13x8=104 outlets).

Is 100 outputs really the limit?

What are the outlet limitations on the new Apex 2016 anyone know? You would think in this day and age of inexpensive computers memory shouldn't be a factor for controllers.

just curious. do you need >100 physical outlets or just virtual outlets? curious as to what the application is.

Right now virtual but with what I have leaves no expansion for physical outlets.

ok, what is the application? perhaps there is a way to optimize the usage?

Damn I'm at 97 outlets already. Hmm

I'm okay for now just like to have elbow room for future expansion.

I need to rephrase. I am curious about your application why it needs so many outlets. This info could be useful to other readers as well.

I have 24 EB outlets and the rest are virtual outlets that are used for a variety of functions like on-off switches, OSC timer speeds, etc.

Here is a pic of my dashboard to give idea.

One would think so ..... and hope so. I ran out of custom probe names a few years ago. Hoping my not-yet-setup 2016 can handle more.
