Pneumatic Wiring

I haven't used them myself, but my best guess is DC+ and DC- are the two sides of the solenoid, and the yellow/green wire is an "earth" ground. If that's the case, then you would connect DC+ to the positive side of the solenoid breakout, DC- to the negative side, and just tape up the yellow/green wire since it wouldn't be used on a robot.

Just FYI, the 5212 solenoid valve isn't legal (due to the 1/4" NPT ports). Sure you don't have the 5211?

Sparky3D is 100% correct about the wiring, although optionally you could tie the earth ground on the solenoid (yelllow/grn wire) to the frame of the robot.

Automation Direct has a "no questions asked" 30-day returns policy - so if you do need to return the 5212 it will be fairly painless - just log-in to your account on AutomationDirect.com, then visit https://www.automationdirect.com/adc/Return/Return to request an RMA number.

Yeah that was my bad it is the 5211 I misread the number. Thanks for the help.
