Re: new festo valves

I managed to download the document 2010FestoFIRSTvalve.pdf . In the electrical connection portion it says to attach one end of each cable to a 24vdc supply and the other to an 0VDC signal. Does it matter which cable goes where? Do both cables have to be doubled up to function as one? Do the cables have to be reversed to move as one? I understand they go to the pnuematic breakout. It also says the red cable is 24vdc and black is 0. Which one goes where?

Just for fat: Is the Red cable ALWAYS live, and black ALWAYS nuetral except when connecting intermediate devices?

Thanks
