Does the 24V power supply have any headroom for a few solenoids?
So, I have some pneumatic components that my robot will work in tandem with and I'd rather not have to add another 24V supply just for running solenoids. Would the robots supply have the headroom for running 5-8W of solenoids? Figured it would be safer to ask before frying the power supply rather than after especially since it already seems to have a fairly meager power budget.
Thank you,
Oliver

according to the driver spec sheets I believe the 6 drivers draw 198W so I think you should be fine with another 5 to 8W
