2010 Festo Solenoid Problems
We are using the 2010 Festo solenoid valve. We've double/triple checked the wiring, and yes, we got the memo about it being 24v. The plumbing has also been checked. At this point, we only get the light on the valve to blink when fire the cylinder. A clicking noise also occurs. Yet, no air is redirected. We suspect that the solenoid is DOA (as per what has been noted about these solenoids in other threads). Before we mess with trying to replace it, any other ideas on how to make this thing behave itself?
