Components
In electropneumatic systems
– The signal medium or the control signal is
electrical and uses either of
DC source - Operating voltages commonly
12V/24V
AC source – Commonly 110/220 V
– Working medium is compressed air.

In a pneumatic control pneumatic components are used, that is,
various types of valves, sequencers, air barriers, etc.
In an electro-pneumatic control the signal control section is
made up of a electrical components, for example with electrical
input buttons,proximity switches, relays, or a programmable
logic controller.
The directional control valves form the interface between the
signal control section and the pneumatic power section in both
types of controller.

Pressure switches
Pneumatic-electric signal
converter.
Used to sense a change in
pressure, and opens or closes
an electrical switch when a
predetermined pressure is
reached.
Bellow or diaphragm is used to
sense the change of pressure.
They expand or contract in
response to increase or
decrease of pressure.
