Without seeing your mechanical setup it is difficult to be sure, but I would lean towards a mechanical issue. Depending on your full pneumatics setup and what the cylinder is pushing against you may either be running out of air causing your working pressure to dip below 60PSI or you may not have enough force to do what you are trying to do even with 60PSI air.

You can verify that the code isn't the problem by unplugging the solenoid from the cRIO and using the manual override to switch it.
