Solenoid Breakout required?

[DonRotolo]

My understanding is that it is not required.

There are only rules that require an analog sidecar (battery voltage) and a digital sidecar (status light). Nothing requires you to have a pneumatics sidecar.

If you do install a Solenoid Breakout, you can either power it with 12 volts or 24 volts. Both come from the Power Distribution Board. 12 volts would be from a 20 Amp branch circuit; 24 volts would be from the "extra" two connections on the cRIO power supply connector.
