Re: How to wire 2011 Festo valve

The current KOP Festo valve takes two outputs to control it. One to each solenoid on the valve. It stays in the last position set & does not require a continuous signal to hold it.

Other valves have a spring return & one soleniod so they only need one output to control them. They need an continuous signal to hold the valve the actuated state.
