Re: Pneumatic wiring?

That part is the digital pressure switch, which tells your compressor when the air tanks are at full pressure so it can turn off.

You want to wire the switch to an open Digital IO port. You can do this by modifying a PWM cable. Wire the black (-) wire to one end of the pressure switch. Wire the white (Signal) wire to the other end. It doesn't matter which end gets (-) and which gets (signal).

In your code, you will need to tell your compressor VI or function which port the switch is plugged into (which language are you using?)
