Looking for suggestions to control solenoid 24VDC 10 watts variable times per minute. I can usually co-opt something automotive or HVAC or such.
This time I'm drawing a blank. Would really appreciate any suggestions. Was considering a set of points in a automotive distributor with a stepper
driving it. Surely there's an easier way. . .

 

I suggest use of a solid-state relay, perhaps driven by a PLC digital output, or maybe something like https://www.amazon.com/Generator-DR...-lpcontext&ref_=fplfs&psc=1&smid=AFHAE9RJVUMB if you want manual control.

 

Per the original post, what are you trying to accomplish?

I'm wondering that too. Are you sure the solenoid is rated to cycle that often? You're talking about switching almost once a second up to 5 times a second. That's a lot for a solenoid.
