It is not ON/OFF as you have with solenoid valves, it is a servo so it is a linear output to drive the servo from closed to partially to fully open in both directions. +-5 with 0 for off. 2.5V would open the valve midway.

Oh alright, so it's a servo but requires the control signal to provide that much current, so I guess the servo is itself powered by the control signal?

Yup, sounds about right. Plenty of room on a VME board to do, pretty much any of these options, even the discrete one I think!  Far less power dissipation available though (depending on how much ventilation flows through the crate), making the analog version much less attractive.
