Ehhh, not so much. i have those same diagrams with the valve and bare wire but no idea what im looking at really. Im hoping someone can break this down to layman terms.
I thought i wouldn’t need the 0-10v? Can’t the control come from the 24vdc port on the eb? I purchased a vdm to control lights, so i do have a port but now I’m more confused because where does green connect? It looks essential by the diagram. I agree that white and yellow seem to be to be for light indicators. Would it be:Looks like red-red and black-black for the 24vdc. Yellow looks like it's a lamp circuit to indicate malfunction, and green is the 0-10v input from the apex to open/close the valve. White wire you shouldn't need it.
Hey Sean, Im having trouble viewing the thread with a similar set up. I actually saw you post a out the molex connections but it was too late and i already had the cables coming, great to know for future though! Any advice on how to connect my particular ball valve?There is a similar valve on this thread here your valve is set up the same way.
Also you can purchase cables much cheaper from electronics suppliers for your future projects. I purchase double ended cables and cut them in half to make two cables on the cheap.
The connection is a standard Molex Micro-fit.
Here are a few purchasing options for you (Molex part number 245132-0210):
Digi-key.com cable
Newark.com cable
Mouser.com cable
Alliedelec.com cable
These are all 1 meter cables with male connectors on both ends. I cut them in half and make two cables out of each one.
You can also string them together to make longer cables with a coupling (Molex part number 245132-0299):
Digi-key.com coupling
Newark.com coupling
Mauser.com coupling
Alliedelec.com coupling
Sorry for the broken link I fixed it now.Hey Sean, Im having trouble viewing the thread with a similar set up.

Red and black for power. On will be open between 2 ports and off will be open between 2 ports.
You can use yellow to indicate that power is applied to the valve. Green and white will not be used.
