integration of pneumatics and electrical technology. The control of pneumatic components by electrical impulses is known as electro-pneumatics. Electro-pneumatic commonly used in low-cost industrial applications. Electro-Pneumatic system consist of electrical control system operating pneumatic power system. In electro-pneumatic system solenoid valve are used as the interface between electrical and pneumatic system. Control of Electro-pneumatic system is achieved using either a combination of relay and contactors or PLC.In this work consist design and simulation of pneumatic cascade A+B+B-A- sequential circuit using FluidSim -P Software.
In a pneumatic system compressor is the only device which consumes electricity. In industry electro -pneumatic have wide applications. In electro-pneumatic circuit solenoidoperated valves, starter/pushbuttons, make/break switches working using electricity. Generally, in pneumatics, air moves the spool but in Electro-pneumatics instead of using air to move the spool of direction control Valve apply voltage to a solenoid coil. This voltage will generate an electromotive force, resulting in the shifting of spool. Pneumatic system generally consists pneumatic signal control section and pneumatic power section. Mechanically operated push button is commonly used as signal input elements. Pneumatic signal is getting processed using signal processing unit. Signal output execute extension or retraction of cylinder or clockwise or anti clockwise motion of rotor actuator. Flow control elements act as an interface between pneumatic signal control section and pneumatic power sections.
Key Words: Electro-Pneumatic Sytem, Simulation, PLC, Relay. 1.INTRODUCTION Various automation technique plays a key role in enhancing overall industrial productivity. Fluid power has unique role in industrial automation. Pneumatic based on fluid power principle. Pneumatic is the study of system operated by air under pressure. “Pneuma” is a Greek word which means “Breath”. Air taken from the atmosphere is compressed in a compressor, and this compressed air is used to produce necessary work out put. Electro-pneumatic circuits are one of the industrial automation cornerstones. Programmable Logic Controllers (PLC) are one of the main components of these circuits. Electro-pneumatic circuit are commonly used for low-cost industrial automations. In electro -pneumatic system pneumatic power system operated by electrical control system. Solenoid valve act as interface between electrical and pneumatic system. Fluid SIM is a software tool for creating simulating hydraulic, pneumatic, electro-hydraulic electro-pneumatic digital electronic system. FESTO FluidSim software is used for simulation of pneumatic power system.
