power draw allowed on solenoid breakout

[Bruceb]

Hoping Big Al chimes in here but the issue is running out of ports. THe cumulative draw is no where near the 21W limit however.
We could add another 24V solenoid breakout but we really didn't want to.
If we use a spike and four 24V solenoids we could put connect them in 2S2P and this would also work I think.

We can only have a single 24v solenoid breakout per the R42 rule.
We can have more 12v solenoid breakouts.

The Spikes can be used for 12v solenoids, but not for 24v.
They aren't rated for that.

Dang
Thanks

[Bruceb]

ya the spikes are out I was thinking backwards on the voltages.
Thanks again

The rules actually say you can only power one solenoid breakout from the PD 24 supply. The question becomes can you use a custom circuit to power the second solenoid breakout at 24 V. Al was checking on that from another thread.

Q237b says you can't.
