Detecting 24V switch signal

$

Dear all,

 

I have a PXI-1052 chassis with (among them) the following modules:

- PXI-6289 with a SCB-68 connection block.

- SCXI-1161 switch module.

 

What do I want?

I want to be able to switch solenoid valves that operate on 24Vdc.

With the SCXI-1161 module I can switch this solenoid but I want more!

I also want to detect if the solenoid is really switched (if there is a 24Vdc loop or not).

My intention was to use the PXI-6289 with SCB-68 (or SCB-100) to detect this signal.

 

The problem.

I have the switching part up and running but I can't get the control loop working.

Currently I'm testing with a 5V-10mA signal to see if I can get the 6289 working but I don't seem to be able to create a stable signal.

The next step is to find out if the SCB-68 is capable of handling 24Vdc.

 

Solution?

Yes please ;-)

 

With kind regards,

Jeroen Kluft
