24V rule change implications?
With the recent change to <R45> in Update #2, it seems to me that they have opened up yet another restriction on solenoid valves. There does not appear to be anything in all of section 8.3.9 that limits us to using only Festo 24V units. Looks like SMC 24V units are now fair game as well, as long as they are all switched by the same NI9472/Solenoid Breakout pair. Anyone interpret it differently, or found any other rule provisions that prohibit use of the SMC SY3000-series solenoids on 24V?

It's not really a game-changer, but it does certainly open up the sourcing options. Finding 12V pilot valves was more of a challenge than finding 24V units.
