USB-2416-4AO DI/O 5V

Hi, 

 

So I have gotten the digital outputs 0 and 1 working with my solenoid valve. I accidently turned both on at the same time so I think blew the fuse in the 5V connection in the DAQ. Is there anyway to verify this? The relay still shows being actuated but the valve itself is not actuating. Any suggestions would be helpful.

 

Thanks,

There is no fuse in line with the +5v output. You most likely overloaded the output circuit, and it's now broken. You'll have to use a separate supply instead. Something like this should work: https://www.amazon.com/MTYTOT-Adapter-100V-240V-Converter-Security/dp/B0BV64MHY6/

I changed the fuse on the solenoid valve relay side and it is now actuating. I guess the fuse blew first when both valves turned on by the relays. 

Thanks,

It must be your lucky day...
