How can i use a PCI-6521 board to output 120 V AC to control a solenoid valve in Measurement and Automation Explorer?

Hi Kathleen,

 

It looks like you can only output a DC voltage using the 6521.  So you would need a relay of some sort to convert DC to AC.  I would recommend a solid state relay.

 

Best of luck,
