Powering solenoids

[MrBasse]

After the chart in R51, it says:
*Multiple low-load, pneumatic solenoid valves, electric solenoids or CUSTOM CIRCUITS may be connected to a single relay module. This would allow one (1) relay module to drive multiple pneumatic actions or multiple CUSTOM CIRCUITS. No other electrical load can be connected to a relay module used in this manner.


So as I see it, you can use multiple solenoids on one Spike relay, but the asterisk is not included on the solenoid breakout.

So if it is a 12v solenoid you are okay, if it is 24v you are out of luck.

But R51 only prohibits connecting more than one device to the output of a power regulating device from r50, the solenoid breakout is not included in r50.

But it is included in the chart found in r51. And also, nowhere does r51 reference r50. R51 only points to table 4-4, which is listed within r51.

Except when it mentions power regulating devices for actuators which a pneumatic solenoid does not seem to fall under the category of actuator, only electrical load. So for the OP, I changed my mind again. I would go with no and ask Q&A.

Are these two solenoids for a similar use? You could just use T fittings to split the tubing to run multiple cylinders off of one valve
