12v/24v Festo Solenoids
Hello all,
So the Festo valve we got in our kit is the 24v one and we rigged up to solenoid break-out and it works perfectly.
We needed a 2nd solenoid so we ordered off andymark, and got it today after assuming it was the same thing wiring it up to the breakout i noticed it was running a bit hot. Then realized it was a 12v solenoid getting 24vs....
So my question can the 12v Solenoid take the 24v?
Or do we have to use an spike relay? <-- Which i don't really want to do more wires etc.
