Hi
I have 3 proportional Solenoid valves from Cole-Parmer Cole Parmer DIrect-Lift Propertional Solenoid Valve.
It requires a 0-30 VDC input for proportional operation. They are suggesting to buy their controller. But its very expensive ( especially since have to buy 3). Is there any driver module (that can be bought) or a circuit that can be made easily that can convert the 0-10V from my NI 9264 module to the 0-30V required to control the valve?
If not what method would anyone here suggest to help control the valve (without the manufacturer's overpriced controller [$ 474 ] and separately sold (shamelessly priced) DB9 serial cable [ for $99] ).
My university lab has the following NI modules - NI 9264 (AO - Voltage ) , 9266 (AO - 0-20mA) , 9375 (DIO). and a cDAQ9187
Can Anyone suggest a circuit that can convert the NI AO voltage to 0-30 VDC?
I am a mechanical engineering fresher and has only basic understanding about electrical/electronics engineering(i.e I'm not qualified or informed enough to design a circuit or choose the components.
P.S To the moderators of the Forum : kindly forgive me if I have posted this question on the wrong board. This is my first time on the NI forum and using NI devices )
