MC4x/XC4x 12V 30W solenoid overload error
What is the suggested solution for driving NG6 valves with standard 30W solenoids at 12V system voltage with MC4x/XC4x modules?
We use the HS+LS digital outputs for driving Parker D1VW valves with "K" code solenoids in a 12V system. As stated in the instrucion book, max load per output is 2.5A, but the measured current is 2.7A (as in the D1VW catalogue). The measured solenoid resistance is 5 Ohm, but it should be within 7-14 Ohm (MC4x/XC4x instrucion book).
30W solenoids are standard at other valve suppliers too, so changing the valve isn't an option. Change the system voltage to 24V also isn't possible for this project.
