II.4 Commonly used output devices
Relay
When a current passes through a solenoid a magnetic field is produced and this can then attract ferrous metal
components. When the output from the PLC is switched on, the solenoid magnetic field is produced and
pulls on تسحبthe contacts and so closes a switch or switches.
Direction valves can be used to control the direction of motion of pistons in cylindersvérin , the
displacement of the pistons being used to implement the required actions. The term single acting cylinder is
used for one which is powered by the pressurised fluid being applied to one side of the piston to give motion
in one direction, it being returned in the other direction by possibly an internal spring resort Fig II.6. The
term double acting cylinder Fig.II.6 is used when the cylinder is powered by fluid for its motion in both
piston movement directions.
