Re: Solenoid PWM?

Choices, choices, choices...
For solenoids:
  • Solenoid Breakout (s) on cRIO Solenoid Module(s) in slots 7 and/or 8. Only one of these can be wired as 24v. Both can be wired as 12v. Each Solenoid Breakout is either all 12v or all 24v.
  • Spikes connected via PWM to the Relay output(s) of a Digital Sidecar.
Mix and match as you need for a potential total of (8) 24v coils-a single solenoid or one side of a double solenoid. You can potentially have up to (48) 12v coils.
