Aim:A Double Acting cylinder is to be controlled by a 5/2 way single solenoid, spring return valve.

Working of the Circuit On keeping the Push button pressed. Relay K gets energized which causes make Switch K1 to close and activates Solenoid Y I. Due to this activating piloting signal is given to solenoid and port 1 is connected to port 4. This results in the extension of 1.0. For full extension the push button has to be kept pressed. When the push button is released the electric signal is cut -off and due to spring return action, the 5/2 way Single Solenoid Valve shifts to connect port 1 to port 2. Air now flows into the annulus of the c yl i n d e r , t h u s c a u s i n g i t t o r e t r a c t t o i t s o r i g i n a l p o s i t i o n .

Working of the Circuit: When Push ButtonPB1 is pressed, the flag is energized and the Timer starts its operation. Since the flag and the timer TON0 are energized, the subsequent rung will get energized only after the set time has elapsed. As the open contact of Timer closes, solenoid Y1 is energized a n d t h e c yl i n d e r e x t e n d s . A f t e r t h e c yl i n d e r h a s f u l l y e x t e n d e d , t h e timer TON1 is energized and its contact in the subsequent rng closes, a f t e r w h i c h s o l e n o i d Y 2 i s e n e r g i z e d c a u s i n g t h e c yl i n d e r t o r e t r a c t .
