Re: Solenoids not activating when energized
Jim,
Currently we are testing the system using direct power (wired to a battery and light switches) so no code is involved at this point. What we were expecting to see is that when the system is powered and pressurized that the piston should extend and then when the solenoids are switched the piston should retract. What we are actually seeing is that when we energize the solenoid we get a solid orange light but no reaction from the cylinder. However when we manually test the pressurized system the piston retracts and extends...any ideas?
We have researched other posts and seen references to 'blinking orange lights' on the solenoids...what do the blinking lights mean?
Thanks,
Robyn
