Re: Solenoid valve troubles

Know that these valves need some air pressure to switch.
There is one input, 2 outputs (to the front and rear of the cylinder) and 2 exhausts (which need to remain un-plugged and open).

Regrettably. I don't have the info handy, but just check the manufacturer catalog on their website.

As for the programmer and 10 seconds: Have him "send" the command and watch the lights on the pneumatic solenoid breakout module. If there is any delay it's in his program.

If the delay is between the light lighting and the valve reacting, then it's the valve. But remember these valves need air to switch...
