Re: Multiplex Festo Valves
My apologies for the confusion. In a nut shell:

1. I wish to control a MAXIMUM of two(2) Festo solenoids at ONE time.
2. I wish to multiplex each of the 8 24V solenoid breakout lines with a SPDT relay driven by the digital side car so that the 24V breakout line can connect to either Festo of the two valve solenoid coils but only ONE at at time.
3. This would allow the control of 16 Festo solenoids (8 complete valves) as long as power only two solenoids are energized at any one time.

My question is ....................Is the multiplexing legal?
