I have 4 Of rays controllers lined up side by side in order to get 36 channels. 1x 27ch and 3x 3ch. All the power and data goes into the 27ch first then cascade in/out of the other 3, 3ch ones. The problem I came across was is that the last controller in the setup wouldn't work. In fact the only way it will work is if the data + wire is disconnected from the last controller. Then every thing works sweet.

Done some swapping around and it all works fine, I started the data into the 3ch ones first, finishing at the 27ch.
I also connected a 5th controller to the output of the 27ch and things went haywire. Has anyone used the output on these 27ch to link to other controllers?

Steve, I have linked 3 of these 27 channel controllers one after the other without any issue.

I now have the 3 x 27 Channel controllers after the CCR in one of the universes and it still seems to work ok for now. I can't seem to be of much help with this

did you remove the XLR plugs from the 27 boards?

Got it all working now. Still don't really know what the issue was but i ended up going with input to the 3x 3ch controllers then the 27ch controller.
Then as a test, I connected it to a LOR controller as DMX then out of LOR back to a single 3 ch.
All works today. Will see what it does tomorrow
