Has anyone used an AB 1797-OB4D to drive anything other than an LED indicator? Looking at the entity parameters it doesn't look like it can do much. But there is also a voltage-current graph that makes it look like you can get some usable current out of it at about 20 volts. I want to drive an intrinsically safe valve with this but it looks like I can't deliver voltages greater than 9.5 Vdc.

Does anyone know if this module will drive a solenoid valve and, if so, whose?

Thanks,
Keith
