Solenoid PWM?

Our team did not use pneumatics last year, so I am unsure how to connect solenoids with the new controls system.
(We are not using the 24 volt solenoids in the kit, we are using 12 volt, this may affect set up)

1) I am assuming that we connect to a spike relay again (please correct if I am wrong)

2) Where do I connect the PWMs?
-Digital Sidecar with PWMs for motors?
-special place on the CRIO modules?

If anyone could help that would be amazing! I just remember how to do it with the old controls.


Thanks so much!
