Re: Going disabled changes the cylinder position
The SMC solenoids you received in the kit are double solenoids. If you use those, you'll be set. They need to be assembled, but that is fairly simple. The air from your pneumatic system goes into the middle inlet on the side with three openings, and the two sides of the cylinder go to the outlets on the side with two holes. The pneumatics manual will explain it better than I can.
