Re: Solenoid is teh fail

Since last year's solenoid is 12v I assume for your test you changed at least the Solenoid Bumper power supply from the cRIO 24v connector to the regular red/black 12v wago connectors on the Power Distribution Panel?

Hard to do a true replacement test without another 24v solenoid.

If the programming is correct the status lights on the cRIO Solenoid Module will light up - no solenoid required for a visual check.
