eg: 3 double acting solenoids will consume 6 outputs, leaving only two to power the three line sensors.

Question: How does the load of one Line Sensor compare with the load of one Solenoid?
Phil,

We are running all three sensors on one output. It seems to be fine.

Don't forget you need to have the software turn on the output in order to turn on the sensors.
