ELECTROPNEUMATICS

Prepared by : Miss Taj Nesha

OBJECTIVES
To identify the functions of each components exist in electro pneumatic circuit. To familiarize with standard symbols to design an electro pneumatic circuit. Redesigning electro pneumatic circuit for sequence of multiple control cylinder. Design the basic circuit for numerous cylinder based on electropneumatic control: a. Method of electrical diagram (Europe) or/and b. Association diagram (America) Controlled system of pneumatic and computer assisted electro pneumatic: a. Design and simulation Identify the necessity of safety in circuit.

 Pneumatics is a method to transfer energy from one point to another using actuators which which are driven by fluids under pressure. Pneumatics restricts itself to gaseous fluids while hyraulics uses liquids to transfer the energy. The transferring of energy in pneumatics such as pumping air into a pneumatic cylinder must be controlled. You can control the pressure by manually opening a valve, automaticall by detecting its pressure, or by sending an electrical signal. The control of pneumatic components by electrical impulses is known as electropneumatics. This science is fast expanding as it can make use of all electronic developments such as PLCs and PCs. However electropneumatics has restrictions as it cannot be used in places where electricity cannot be used such as gas factories,etc.

SOLENOID
A solenoid is a coil wound into a tightly packed helix. In physics, the term solenoid refers to a long, thin loop of wire, often wrapped around a metallic core, which produces a magnetic field when an electric current is passed through it. operating principles are also used.

RELAY
A relay is an electrically operated switch. Many relays use an electromagnet to operate a switching mechanism mechanically.
