Control solenoid valves

Matin88 — Thu, 15 May 2014 13:23:24 GMT

Hello All,

I need to control 3 solenoid valves (MHP1-M1H-3/2o-M3-PI), using labview. The activation protocol is like this:

valve1 On for 2 seconds, and then Off for 1 sencond, this should start with pressing a bottom and stop after specific number of on-off cycles (for example after 100 times on-off), again with bottom.

valve 2 and 3 have the same protocol, but they should start after a 'delay=1 second' respectively after eachother.

Since I am a new user to Labview, could you please help me how I can programm these tasks.

I have attached the task description.

Thank you very much.

You've forgot to attach the description. And why don;t you try something or atleast come up with a flowchart.

You for trials, you can possibly use LED's on the front (representing the valves) as shown below.

State machine, https://www.ni.com/en/support/documentation/supplemental/16/simple-state-machine-template-documentation.html, would be an architecture that would fit to your requirement.
