So i've got a project. We're adding a centralized air system here in our shop and we need to be able to electronically turn on/off the air at each workstation. Each workstation has an industrial laser which sends a 5v signal over a cat3 cable (rj11 head) when it wants air. I figured i'd just use a 5v triggered relay to turn on power to the solenoid valve. Except that's where my electronic expertise ends
Here's what i have so far..
I still need to find that relay (help?), and from what i understand i might need to put a diode between the solenoid and relay?
