Q
I bypassed a motor operated valve to control a solenoid valve. Now I can't control the solenoid!
A bit of background, of course.
We had two valves being operated as a pair. The operation signal initially went to a motor driven hydraulically operated valve that would repeat the signal to a downstream solenoid valve. The first valve developed a short and we chose to simplify the system.
After the unused operator was removed I fabricated a junction box and connected the control wires that used to operate the motor driven hydraulically operated valve to now drive the solenoid directly. This left me with 5 wires, 3 for position indication and 2 solenoid operation. I have correct position indication, but I can't get the valve to operate. If I apply power directly, the solenoid will operate. At this point, I am unsure if I need to reprogram the logic. We use Ovation 3.0.2.
Any thoughts?
