My team wants to use 5/3 pneumatic solenoid, however the only one we can find is high current solenoids (about 0.5 amps each side and both needs to be powered at the same time).
do you have a solution to how to use that solenoid?
why do you need such a high power solenoid? is this for a vacuum system?
Its the only 5/3 valve we can find
Shahar,
You can use an old Spike or the small automation Direct Solid State Relays to drive the solenoid.
Is it legal according to the manual?
Have you checked? Which portions indicate to you that it may or may not be legal?
Check out the table under R37 - there’s a line there for pneumatic solenoid valves that tells you you can control them with either the PCM or one of the approved relays.
