Solenoid Breakout required?

[tux]

The control system setup documentation says to install a solenoid breakout module in the cRio, but I can't see anything requiring that module in the manual.

If we are not using any solenoids is that module required?


If it is required, how is it powered when using a cRio II? The version 1 has 4 spaces available on the power plug, but the version 2 has only 2 spaces available. My understanding is only 1 wire may be plugged in to any 1 space on a connector.

Thanks for any assistance.
