Correct me if Im wrong, but it does not say per output on the solenoid breakout, but the solenoid breakout as a whole, so if this idea is correct that you can only power one solenoid per "solenoid breakout" then you could only have one solenoid at 24 volts. I am also unsure about the use of the plural "pneumatic solenoid valves".

Im not trying to argue with you, but if your way is the correct ruling then we will need to think of a new way to run all of our valves, as we have a few of them Yed together.
