Help for beginner: Need labview signal to power on >=2 actuators of 8 with one power supply

[shalom]

I am a beginner in using labview. I need to use labview signal to turn on >=2 ac 8 actuators with one power supply. The 24VDC, 0-3A power supply is enough to drive all 8 actuators which need 24VDC and 0.1A current. So the main function is like turning on 2 or more than 2 switches in series with the 8 actuators with one power supply. Any suggestion of some simple module for this purpose? Thanks.

Maybe I didn't say the question clear. I have one power supply (24VDC, 0-3A) and 8 solenoid valves (24VDC and 0.1A). Two valves (or more than two in future) have to be activated each time. I would like to find something that can work like switches installed in series with the valves. Then I can wire the valves (with the switches) in parallel with the power supply. As I turn the switches on and off with signals from Labview board, power to that specific valve will be turned on and off.

Any advice for this kind of switches or any module that can be controlled by Labview signal? Please help! Thanks.

Shalom,

Thank you for contacting National Instruments. This post may be better addressed to the DAQ or Modular Instruments group since they have some specific switching and relay products. The best option would probably be to look at these various products to see if one will meet your needs. The main page for our switches is as follows:

Hopefully that will provide you with some of the options we have available to you. If you have any further questions then let us know.
