The double-solenoid valve works by outputting air into one side of the piston to make it extend. You then set it in reverse (the spike) to put air into the other side of the piston to make it retract. You can't model a double-solenoid using a single-solenoid by changing the software. The purpose of a double-solenoid valve is to be able to actuate the piston in both directions, ONE single solenoid valve cannot do this, but TWO SINGLE solenoid valves can
