Nee help writing a labview program to control Solenoid Valves

[newtolabviewhel]

I need to write a lab view program for 4 solenoid valves attached to a manifold. Each valve is supposed to perform the following:

Step 1

• Valve 1: Open for 20 seconds
• Valve 2: Close
• Valve 3: Close
• Valve 4: Close

Step 2

• Valve 1: Close
• Valve 2: Open for 20 seconds
• Valve 3: Close
• Valve 4: Close

Step 3

• Valve 1: Close
• Valve 2: Close
• Valve 3: Open for 20 seconds
• Valve 4: Close

Step 4

• Valve 1: Close
• Valve 2: Close
• Valve 3: Close
• Valve 4: Open for 20 seconds

Step 5

• Repeat all steps above

For questions about LabVIEW that are not directly related to LIFA, you should post in the NI Forums.  If you have questions about using the Arduino with LabVIEW, you should install LINX.  If you have issues specifically related to LINX, you should post on their forums.

My first suggestion would be to use a state machine.

Hello All,

I need to control 3 solenoid valves (MHP1-M1H-3/2o-M3-PI), using labview. The activation protocol is like this:

valve1 On for 2 seconds, and then Off for 1 sencond, this should start with pressing a bottom and stop after specific number of on-off cycles (for example after 100 times on-off), again with bottom

valve 2 and 3 have the same protocol, but they should start after a 'delay=1 second' respectively after eachother.

Since I am a new user to Labview, could you please help me how I can programm these tasks.

Thank you very much.

The only suggestions that I have at the moment are the same ones that I posted above.
