Exercise No. 07 ME 3219L. 3-1
Title: Inspecting beverage cases
Objective:
Use the 3/2 way solenoid valve in direct control for a single-acting cylinder.
PROBLEM:
Beverage cases are inspected for completeness with a test device. Incomplete cases are
pushed off of the roller conveyor by pressing a push button. Develop a control system
with which this process can be executed. Complete the pneumatic and electrical circuit
diagram in both normal and activated positions and describe the mode of operation of the
control system.
PNEUMATIC CIRCUIT DIAGRAM

Solutions Description
Control of single cylinders using electro pneumatics

Forward stroke: The circuit is closed when push button PB closes. A magnetic field is
produced in the coil Y. The armature in the coil opens the passage for the compressed air.
The compressed air flows from 1 to 2 of the 3/2 DCV to cylinder, which travels to the final
forward position.
Return stroke: When the push button PB is released, the circuit is interrupted. The magnetic
field at coil Y collapses, the 3/2 way valve switches back to its original position as shown
in Figure 1.27. The compressed air in the cylinder then exhausts through port 3 of the DCV
and the cylinder travel to the final rear position
