Re: cRIO Total Power Consumption

Thanks Joe. That's what I was looking for.

Wow. 0.83 Amps just for the cRIO...not much left over to run some valves. Better stick with 12 VDC coils or use a custom circuit to make more 24 Vdc available.

I probably would not recommend the 2011 shown connection of the pneumatic bumper to the 24 VDC power board then, there just isn't enough amperage to run some valves, barely one valve if any depending on valve coil wattage.
