problem with programming solenoid vales

Bryan Herbst · #1 21-02-2010, 12:56

Is the soleniod breakout connected to the 24v connector on the PDB (same connector as the cRio), or is it connected to another Wago terminal on the PDB?

It should be connected to the former, as the rest of the PDB only provides 12v but the solenoids require 24v.

Actually, according to the manual the solenoid breakout board accepts 6-30V. There is no need for 24V, 12V does fine. We have had ours hooked up through a 12V Wago terminal on the PDB, and we have had our solenoids working great.

That's because you are using 12VDC solenoids.
The one solenoid that came in the 2010 KOP is 24VDC.
You have to wire the voltage that fits your solenoids. They are labeled.
