PRACTICAL TEST
CLO2 : construct and test the processing control system application based on the theory
and principle operation of the system
PLO5 : apply appropriate techniques, resources, and modern engineering and IT tools to
well-defined engineering problems, with an awareness of the limitations (DK6).

CLO3 : demonstrate good communication skill in group presentation based on engineering

activities.
PLO10: communicate effectively on well-defined engineering activities with the engineering
community and with society at large, by being able to comprehend the work of
others, document their own work, and give and receive clear instructions.

INSTRUCTION:
Answer all questions.

PART A
Write your answer in the box.

Construct a circuit to operate a double acting cylinder with OR logic operation

using indirect control.

a. Draw and label the circuit of the system stated above.

[5 marks]

Answer:
DEJ30023/JKE/PT.S01 1|4
PART B
Use software Fluid-Sim

a. Draw the schematic of your circuit in PART A using Fluid-Sim software.

 [5 marks]
b. Do the simulation and explain your work to the examiner.

1. Connect the positive terminal of the power supply to the common positive
rail.
2. Connect one side of the first solenoid valve coil to the common positive
rail.
3. Connect one side of the second solenoid valve coil to the common positive
rail.
4. Connect the other side of both solenoid valve coils to the normally open
contacts of the control switches or sensors.
5. Connect the common terminal of the control switches or sensors to the
common negative rail of the power supply.
6. Connect the other terminal of the control switches or sensors to the
normally closed contacts of the opposite control switch or sensor. This
establishes the OR logic operation.
7. Connect the common negative rail of the power supply to the negative
terminal of the power supply.
8. Connect the cylinder's ports to the corresponding ports on the solenoid
valves.

[5 marks]
PART C
Hands on

a. Connect the circuit above.

[5 marks]
b. On the switch and observe the movement of the cylinder. Explain the operation
of the system to the examiner.

Now, when one control switch or sensor is activated (closed), it will energize its
respective solenoid valve, which in turn will allow fluid flow to one side of the
cylinder, causing it to extend. When the other control switch or sensor is activated, it
will energize the other solenoid valve, allowing fluid flow to the opposite side of the
cylinder, causing it to retract. If both control switches or sensors are activated

DEJ30023/JKE/PT.S01 3|4
 simultaneously, both solenoid valves will be energized, resulting in no motion or
holding the current position of the cylinder.
