Triggering the advancing of a cylinder piston rod is to be possible using two pushbuttons S1 and S2. If at least one of the two pushbuttons is actuated, the valve coil 1M1 is energised, the solenoid valve 1V1 switches into the actuated position and the piston rod advances. If both pushbuttons are released, the valve switches into the initial position and the piston rod retracts. – Create the appropriate function table and the logic symbol.

Fundamentals: Use of solenoid valves Sheet 1 of 4
Two factors are to be considered regarding the question as to which valve type is to be used for a particular application: • Duration, i.e. time frame, • Quantity or frequency of required switching operations. In order to utilise a directional control valve as efficiently as possible, you will need to decide in each case whether the use • of a double solenoid valve or • a spring-return directional control valve is more cost effective for the required application. – Decide whether a double solenoid or a spring-return solenoid valve seems more
cost effective for the applications listed and explain the reasons for your choice. Application 1 The clamping cylinder of a milling device is to firmly hold in position a workpiece for the duration of a milling operation (duration of approx. 10 min, 60 clamping operations per day).

Exercise 11: Realising a pallet loading station
• To familiarise yourself with displacement-step diagrams and to be able to design these for specified problem definitions.
Training aims
• To be able to realise a sequence control using two cylinders.
Problem definition Stacks of roof tiles are to be strapped with a band and then transported to a pallet loading station, where they are to be transferred onto Euro pallets. • Adjust the one-way flow control valve so that both cylinders retract at identical
speed.
Parameters
1. Design the displacement-step diagram. Project task 2. Draw up the corresponding function diagram and function chart. 3. Design the pneumatic and electrical circuit diagrams. 4. Simulate the electropneumatic circuit diagram and check its correct functioning. 5. Compile an equipment list. 6. Carry out the pneumatic and electrical circuit assembly. 7. Check the circuit operation.

Pallet loading station
1. Cylinder 1A1 is to advance when pushbutton S1 is pressed, whereby a single
package arrives at the loading point and sensor 1B2 is actuated. 2. Cylinder 2A1 advances, actuates sensor 2B2, and pushes the package onto the
pallet. 3. If 2B2 is actuated and S1 is unactuated, cylinder 1A1 retracts. 1B2 is therefore no
longer actuated and cylinder 2A1 retracts. Consequently, the overall sequence is: 1A1+ 2A1+ 1A1– 2A1–

If pushbutton S1 is actuated, cylinder 1A1 advances whereby the package reaches its loading point and sensor 1B2 is actuated. Cylinder 2A1 advances, actuates sensor 2B2 and pushes the package onto the pallet. If 2B2 is actuated and S1 unactuated, cylinder 1A1 retracts. 1B2 is no longer actuated and cylinder 2A1 retracts. Consequently the overall sequence is: 1A1+ 2A1+ 1A1– 2A1– – Design the displacement-step diagram for the problem definition described.

Exercise 12: Eliminating a fault on the pallet loading station
• To be able to identify and eliminate faults in simple electropneumatic control systems.
Training aims
Problem definition The pallet loading station stops during continuous operation. A fault has occurred and must be eliminated. Thereafter the pallet loading station is to be re-started. • Only one fault has occurred.
Parameters
1. Describe the behaviour of the control system. Compare this with the correct control system behaviour. Use the displacement-step diagram to assist you.
Project task
2. Localise potential causes of the fault with the help of the pneumatic and electrical circuit diagrams.
3. Find the fault in the control system and eliminate it. 4. Re-start the control system.

Exercise 12: Eliminating a fault on the pallet loading station
Pallet loading station 1. Cylinder 1A1 is to advance if pushbutton S1 is pressed. This causes a single
package to reach its loading point thereby actuating sensor 1B2. 2. Cylinder 2A1 advances, actuates sensor 2B2 and pushes the package onto the
pallet. 3. If 2B2 is actuated and S1 unactuated, cylinder 1A1 retracts, 1B2 is no longer
actuated and cylinder 2A1 retracts. Consequently the overall sequence is: 1A1+ 2A1+ 1A1– 2A1–
