I haven't seen any discussion yet on Team Update 5 as it relates to
photosensor wiring.

R60: Solenoid Breakout outputs shall be connected to pneumatic valve solenoids or photoelectric sensors, PN 42EF-D1MNAK-A2 only. No other devices shall be connected to these outputs
Assuming I read it right, we can wire each
photosensor to the
solenoid breakouts for power? That could save on breakers and wire runs to the PDB. I like it. I guess then you'd set each Output on the
breakout to a logical high to turn on the
photosensor (as if you were controlling a
solenoid)?
This is clearly useful in light of potential battery voltage drops as the sensors can become erratic if voltage drops too low for too long.
