Spike Relay Double Solenoid
 

We are using LabView 8.6 and we are trying to program an SMC double Solenoid connected to a Spike relay. We have programmed a single relay but it does not work for our double solenoid. Only our single solenoid. We've connected both red wires of the double solenoid to the M+ and the M- of the Spike relay. How can we adjust our code so it works with a double solenoid?


-Thank you in advance :)

Here is the link to the IFI documentation for the spike. See the two solenoid wiring example to check your wiring.

Set relay forward momentarily to switch to one position.

Set relay reverse momentarily to switch to other position.

Valve will maintain position without power.

Other points:
Dual solenoid valves must have air pressure applied to move the spool in the valve

This years KOP the dual solenoid valve is 24V, check documentation about this. Spike is designed for 12v so you will have to us the NI solenoid driver card with special 24v wiring to use this years valve.

What does the True case for the Relay Set have in it (should be "Forward")?
