Properties |
|
Pin |
| Chip pin to connect the solenoid circuit to. NB) Solenoid cannot be moved unless there is a valid connection. | |
|
Connections |
|
|
Simulations |
|
Moving part |
| A panel object to be moved back and forth when the solenoid is activated. | |
|
|
Pivot object |
| A position to rotate around when the solenoid type is set to 'Rotate' Not required for linear solenoids. | |
|
Type |
| The type of motion of the solenoid actuator. | |
|
|
Axis |
| For linear solenoids, the axis along which the actuator will move. For rotary solenoids, the axis around which it will rotate. | |
|
Distance |
| For linear solenoids, the distance between the 'off and 'on' states in model units. For rotary solenoids, the rotation in degrees. | |
|
Time (ms) |
| The time taken for the solenoid to move between the on and off positions. Used only for the purpose of System Panel animations on screen. | |
