Re: How to wire 2011 Festo valve
The wiring diagram is linked on the KOP website
Robot Power Distribution Diagram (24V Solenoid)

Basically:
  1. A white wago connector that fits the Solenoid Breakout gets wired to the two empty terminals on the special cRIO connector on the Power Distribution Panel. That's the only source of 24v power.
  2. The 24v solenoid gets each of it's 2-wire coils wired to one of the Solenoid Breakout output pin pairs. Make sure ground goes to ground. It won't break anything if you get it backwards, but it won't operate either. You can use the gray 2-pin cables that came in the KOP to make this easier- just cut them in half to get two pre-wired connectors.
