Can the dual-control solenoid valve on a pneumatic valve be connected to just one coil to function as a single-control solenoid valve?

Can the dual-control solenoid valve on a pneumatic valve be connected to just one coil to function as a single-control solenoid valve?
Sure, the two dual-control solenoids can be powered simultaneously, right? Currently, it’s as if one of them is always in a de-energized state
There are no springs in the cylinder – how can it be controlled individually?
It should be possible to replace it with a 2/5-way solenoid valve, but in that case there will be no position locking; you need to think carefully about what happens in emergency situations
That won’t work; dual control is just that – dual control – and one of them will simply not function.
I’ve learned it; thanks for everyone’s experience.
No. In that case, it’s better to use a single-coil solenoid valve, to avoid excess quality
A two-coil solenoid has a middle position; if that middle position is not taken into account, meaning the valve is either open or closed, then the solenoid can be replaced with a single-coil solenoid (in a complete replacement), and the functionality remains exactly the same. It’s not possible to simply replace the coil in this case. Generally, valve cylinders with dual coils do not have a return spring, so once they are opened, they cannot be closed, or once closed, they cannot be opened again. The manufacturing process needs to be taken into account, especially with regard to safety.
