Hi
I am burning through half my neurone already trying to figure this out.
I intend to use the driverless latch pins to open and close Bermad valves with IR-2T solenoids at my automatic irrigation filter. I only need 5 to 6 of those since my filter does have 2-3 filters (whose output I can control individually), the general input, the general output and a side valve for emergencies. That would leave me with 2, at most 3, free pins of these but I am not sure of the real life difference between driver enabled and driverless pins. I read in the tutorial that since latch valves do not remember their state, I had to use the driverless pins, so I do.
Then I was planning to use the driver enabled latch pins in some combination with a 16 channels relay that would somehow enable me to trick reality with the use of a single output pin that could divert the output latch signal through the first bank (valves 1 to 8) of the second one (valves 9 to 14). But so far I cannot figure out how.
Now that I am writing this, perhaps the first question would be: what is the difference between driver enabled and driverless latch pins?
At first I thought it was related to the current they could provide, so it would make sense to use driverless for actuators (or relays) that requiere barely milliamps to work, and the driver enabled for those more power hungry (whiting specs). But I am not sure anymore
Any help on either end?
Thanks a lot!!!
