Digital Control Channels
On present Maxum II analyzers, the solenoid control circuitry is on the PECM. Digital outputs
assigned to each solenoid valve are shown in the table below. If a digital output is 0 the valve
is OFF; if the output is a 1, the valve is ON. Each group of four valves is identified as being
left or right. There are no digital inputs. See the table below for the numbering pattern of
solenoid valves (same for original and newer versions). Each solenoid valve can be manually
set to the ON or OFF conditions by manually depressing the red button on each solenoid. This
button is on the top-front of each Parker (original) solenoid and on the bottom of each SMC
(new) solenoid.
