The two-position, double solenoids require both signal states to be
activated. Invalid states will result in indeterminate outputs.
In addition to controlling the internal robot solenoids, the Solenoid cable brings a portion of
the other XDIO signals out to the CN21 connector at the top of the robot. See the following
table for details of which signals are available at CN21. See the SmartController EXUser’s
Guide's for the electrical specifications for the signals from the XDIO connector.
