How to interface controller with relay

I want to develop a module in which i have to operate 32 relays.
1. Controller ----->Shift Register------>ULN2003------> Relay

but i don't want to use shift register. Can some one suggest me alternate for this. Controller input is DMX-512

So this is a slave device you are building?

What is the DMX-512 specific signal format that will control the relays?

Controller i will get DMX-512 input signal depends on the signal i have to turn on-off relays for that one thing how we can achieve is using shift register and relay drivers but i don't want to use shift register in place of that is there any module which i can use for relay triggering by using less(up to 10) I/0 pins of controllers

Are you still working on this? There are several ways of addressing 32 relays, but it would really help if you could tell us what you're doing - for example, is one relay used at a time? Switch it on, switch it off, then use a different relay? If so, you could use a couple of demultiplexer chips - 5 inputs, 32 outputs. You will probably need a transistor to drive each relay. What resistance are their coils, and what voltage? You seem reluctant to say what the project is - but it would to know, help if you want a useful answer.

Are you looking for 32 individual addressable latching outputs ?

One chip design in PSOC could be used. You could also contemplate putting
a DMX512 controller solution, also inside same chip.

Note resources mostly unused, see right hand window.

I got the solution...thanks for your reply
