This document provides instructions for Exercise No. 3 - A, which involves designing and testing a pneumatic circuit to control the movement of crates on a roller track using a double-acting cylinder. The cylinder is to be extended and retracted based on signals from separate push buttons and remain in the last indicated position until an opposing signal is received. The objectives are to understand the functions of memory valves, double-acting cylinders with indirect actuation, and bi-stable 5/2-way valves. Learners are tasked with designing and testing the circuit, comparing their solution to the proposed one, performing function checks, and properly dismantling and storing components.

The roller track is to be swiveled by means of a double-acting cylinder. The signals to
Description extend and to retract are given from separate push buttons (PB1 & PB2). The cylinder is to remain in the position indicated by the last signal until an opposing signal is given. (Pneumatically actuated) Using Fluidsim Application only

Specific learning To be able to understand the:
objective The function and uses of memory valves. Operation of a Double-acting cylinder with indirect actuation. Operation of a bi-stable 5/2-way valve (also called Double Solenoid Valve.)
Tasking Problem Tasks:
Design and draw the circuit diagram with the help of the exercise description and positional sketch. Compare one’s own solution with the one proposed. Construct the circuit with the air pressure switched off. Switch on air supply and carry out a function check. Assembling and orderly replacement of components. Before retiring dismantle your control system and put the components back in order in the mobile laboratory workstation.
