Re: Pneumatics with diode

Kevin,
R42 for just one 24 volt solenoid module refers to the power supply on the PD. This supply is not capable of the current required for the cRio and two solenoid modules. You may build a 24 volt power convertor as a Custom Circuit and feed two solenoid modules (or one in addition to the one fed from the PD power supply.) provided all other electrical rules are followed.
Martin, the asterisk references the Spike column only in R51.
