Re: States for SMC 3 position valve

Silly my for try to read this on my phone. Anyway that does look like the part number for a 3 position valve. The valve should block the A&B ports & lock the cylinder when both solenoids (the physical ones) are de-energized. If not the valve isn't that part number or something else is wrong that programming will not fix. Another possibility is the cylinder is acting faster the valve. If so you will need flow restrictors in the cylinder ports.

You probably want to use two solenoid objects and set them both to off rather than the double solenoid object. The net result should be both solenoids off.
