Your rewording would conflict with the intent of R48J. I think if you want to run 12V electric solenoids (as allowed with R48J and powered by a solenoid breakout) and also run 24v pneumatic solenoids, you would need two solenoid breakouts, one powered by 12v and the other powered by 24v. Alternately, you could power your 12v electric solenoids by spike relay modules.
