power draw allowed on solenoid breakout

So the manual says that if I have a 4 port crio the maximum power I can draw from the solenoid breakout is 21w. Does it matter if that is all from one set of pins or is there a limit to how much I can draw from a pair of pins?
We are running 4 valves that draw 3w each and want to wire them all to the same set of pins to be controlled all at once.
12W at 24V is .5A Can a set of pins handle 500mA?
