Powering solenoids
Would it be legal to connect/wire two solenoids to one digital input if we were using two solenoids at the same time?
Thanks! |
Re: Powering solenoids
Yes it would be but what would be the point of wiring your solenoid to a digital Input?

Re: Powering solenoids
If you were asking if you can wire 2 solenoid valves to one output of the solenoid breakout, the answer is no per r51.
<R51> Each power regulating device may control electrical loads per Table 4-4. Unless otherwise noted, each power regulating device may control one and only one electrical load. |

However, the solenoid breakout is not listed as a power regulating device under r50. But multiple devices per output isn't explicit in r51. As I read it now it would be okay. Can someone else provide clarification or does this need to go to the Q&A? |
Re: Powering solenoids
After the chart in R51, it says:
*Multiple low-load, pneumatic solenoid valves, electric solenoids or CUSTOM CIRCUITS may be connected to a single relay module. This would allow one (1) relay module to drive multiple pneumatic actions or multiple CUSTOM CIRCUITS. No other electrical load can be connected to a relay module used in this manner. So as I see it, you can use multiple solenoids on one Spike relay, but the asterisk is not included on the solenoid breakout. So if it is a 12v solenoid you are okay, if it is 24v you are out of luck. |
Re: Powering solenoids
But R51 only prohibits connecting more than one device to the output of a power regulating device from r50, the solenoid breakout is not included in r50.

Re: Powering solenoids
But it is included in the chart found in r51. And also, nowhere does r51 reference r50. R51 only points to table 4-4, which is listed within r51.

Re: Powering solenoids
Except when it mentions power regulating devices for actuators which a pneumatic solenoid does not seem to fall under the category of actuator, only electrical load. So for the OP, I changed my mind again. I would go with no and ask Q&A.

Re: Powering solenoids
Are these two solenoids for a similar use? You could just use T fittings to split the tubing to run multiple cylinders off of one valve
