By "other" Festo I assume you mean the 2009 KOP Festo?
2009 Festo Wiring
The 2 wires then go back to a 12v Solenoid Bumper or a Spike (Spike is then controlled by a PWM cable connected to a Digital Sidecar Relay.

The 2010 Festo wiring is just plug in the wired connectors that came with it, then the red and black wires go to a 24v Solenoid Bumper.
Im sorry but im not exactly getting this but from what i've been hearing/reading the pneumatic bumper is connected to the 24v source on the distribution board (2 left over leads on the WAGO connector that connects the cRio to the Distribution board) and then the two ends of the solenoid being connected to the bumper right? So if this is right that means were gonna have to use 2010 and only the 2010 festo valves hence the 2008 and 2009 SMC and Festo valves are not going to have the right amount of voltage thus not working right???? This years pneumatics are complicated we should have sticked with the old SMC and Festo solenoid
thanks for you help
