MARKS :
1.0 Experiment Outcomes
At the end of the lab session students should be able:
1.1 Design Basic Electropneumatic circuit.
1.2 Apply and demonstrate the electropneumatic circuit on the experimental board

2.0 Introduction / theory

Pneumatics are good for straight movements, but, with the right linkage can be used for
rotation or other movements. Pneumatics are also used a lot in industry. It can be used to do
lots of different jobs such as moving, holding or shaping objects.
3.0 Apparatus / Equipment
i.SMC LEARNING SYSTEM
ii. FESTO FLUIDSIM

4.0 Safety Precautions

4.1 Pressurised air lines that become detached can cause accidents.
Switch off pressure immediately!
4.2 First connect all tubing and secure before switching on the compressed air.
4.3 Cylinders may advance or retract as soon as the compressed air is switched on.
4.4 Do not exceed the permissible working pressure (see data sheets).
4.5 Use only low voltages of 24 V
4.6 Switch off the air and voltage supply before disconnecting the circuit.

5.0 Procedures / Problem definition

Problem 1 : Stamping Machine
PB1 will control the movement of stamping machine, lamp 1 and buzzer will ON with the
process. The stamping cylinder will retract by pushing PB2. Lamp 4 will ON and lamp 3 will
be OFF when the Stamping Machineback to normalposition.Design an electropneumatic
circuit that can solve the problem

Problem 2: Magazine Feeder By pressing a start button, a workpiece is pushed away from
the gravity feed magazine onto a conveyor system. The cylinder returns automatically when
it has reached the fully extended position. Fully extended and retracted positions are sensed
by limit switches LS1 and LS2. The Cylinder is controlled by a 5/2 way valve double solenoid.
Design an electropneumatic circuit that can solve the problem

7.0 Discussion
i. What is the different between direct and indirect method in electropneumatic circuit

DIRECT CONTROL INDIRECT CONTROL

It is the control of an The control of an electro-pneumatic valve
electropneumatic valve without using using intermediate components such as
intermediate components such as a relays, contactors or programmable logic
relay, a contactor an industrial controllers (PLC)
computer
A direct control circuit is used to Large cylinders as well as cylinders
control a 5/2 DCV single solenoid operating at high speed are generally
using a push button switch actuated indirectly as the final valve is
required to handle large quantity of air .
Activating the pushbutton will Single piloted valves are rarely used in
energize the coil (solenoid) which in applications where the piston has to retract
turn will actuate (operate) the valve immediately on taking out the set pilot
signal

ii. Draw a time motion Diagram for problem 2

iii. List down type of sensor in pneumatic circuit

- Pneumatic Cylinder Switches

- Pneumatic Cylinder sensors
- Pneumatic Pressure sensors
- Pneumatic Sensor And Switch Accessories
- Pressure Sensor Controllers

8.0 Conclusion and Recommendation

What is the main important measures in order to develop application using

electropneumatic system.

-The greatest advantage of electro pneumatics is the integration of various types of

proximity sensors [electrical] and PLC for very effective control. As the signal speed with
electrical signal, can be much higher, cycle time can be reduced and signal can be conveyed
over long distances .
