Hi everyone,
Which hardware do I need to control one solenoid valve to turn ON and OFF on command when using LabVIEW?
I know this must have a simple answer, but I am lost in this topic.
I have used an Arduino before to control a solenoid valve (it was a while back and I am no expert), but I would like to use something more permanent and sturdy, something I could just buy and use without too much hassle. Is there something like that?
I looked into NI products but I had no idea which product to pick. I only have 1 solenoid valve and all I want to do is to turn ON and OFF using LabVIEW. I am using LabVIEW to control a Keithley source meter and the valve will be one small component in the LabVIEW program.
I have not bought a solenoid valve yet, but the solenoid valves that meet my operation requirements are fabricated by Asco RedHat and their voltages are either 120V AC or 24V AC or 24V DC. I know this voltage makes a difference, but I am not sure how.
Thank you in advance for any insights you all can provide!
