Re: 24v Conflict with cRIO and Solenoid

Carter, The solenoid module has a series of relays that are closing contacts. The 24 volt solenoids can be fed from the Crio 24 volt output on the PD. However, there is only enough reserve to feed 8 valves and no more. If you have a combination of 12 and 24 volts valves, you need to add a second module.
There are a few threads on CD that explaining this in detail.
