Re: electrical connections for pneumatic

Just out of curiosity, are you supplying 24V to the solenoid breakout? You would have to power the solenoid breakout with 24V for your 24V solenoids to work. In order to do this, the breakout would need to be powered from the PD board via the 24V port (same one as the cRIO, just using the other two terminals) vs. plugging it into a 12V output. This is shown in this wiring diagram.
