so my first question is, what type of solenoid are you you using? The new 24 volt festo valves are double solenoid valves. they have a solenoid on each side, so when one is on the other is off, and vice versa. there are two ways to program this, 1: use the double solenoid vi, 2: use two single solenoid vi's. it's really programmer preference. the older large festo valves were single acting meaning that that when on its on, when off its off, and the apparatus should respond accordingly. since this valve is so basic most people just wired it to a spike relay and used the relay on/off vi's to actuate a cylinder rather than the solenoid vi. there are 8 led's on the creo card for the pneumatics. there are eight slots on the solenoid bumper. if the led's light when you press the button, then carefully check your wiring.
