Valve Control
The external valve drivers
Figure 30 Internal valve drivers
There is no direct relationship between the location of a valve in the valve box
and the driver that controls it. This depends on how the solenoids are wired and
the actuators are plumbed.
The external valve drivers
Valve drivers 5 and 6 control a current that may be used to drive a relay or other
low-power device. Valve drivers 7 and 8 switch a current from an external
source. Electrical details are in Table 22 on page 192.
These drivers, particularly Valve 7 and 8, may be used to control a motor driven
multiposition valve for stream selection.
All four of these drivers appear on the External Event connector on the back of
the GC.
