In our arm we have 3 solenoids that shoot at the same time to raise our arm and i was wondering if we can connect all 3 solenoids to the same relay on the cRio, I have look on the first web site and i could not find anything that said that it was legal or illegal. Have anyone try it.
Please help!
Thank you.
Solenoids can be connected to either the solenoid module on the cRio, -OR- to a spike relay…
Per <R49-A> you may connect multiple solenoids to a single spike relay.
I don’t see anything specifically disallowing controlling multiple solenoids from a single connection on the cRio solenoid module, however I don’t recommend it. That module was designed to support 8 separate output signals, not multiple solenoids per output
hope that helps
tanguma,
The NI 9472 module can handle 750 ma per output and a max current for the sum of all outputs is 6 amps.
ok thank you guys for your help
