New Member Question - 2013 Festo Solenoid

[Mark McLeod]

Here's a picture of the wiring:



You will need code to work the solenoid, but if you are programming in LabVIEW there is a complete example program that will run a compressor and solenoid you can test with, without knowing much about code. From the Getting Started window go to Support -> Find FRC Examples... then look in the pneumatics folder.

You will need a solenoid module and solenoid breakout for your cRIO.
Power from the unused terminals on the 24v connector on the Power Distribution Panel get wired to the solenoid breakout to power the 24v Festo solenoid (the white connector in the picture below).



When assembling the fittings make sure to tighten them with an M7 (I think) metric allen wrench: http://www.team358.org/files/pneumat...4vFittings.jpg
