Overview:
MODULE DESCRIPTION:
DC Power Supply:
The DC Power Supply converts the AC line voltage into a 24-V DC
voltage that is used to power the electrical components of the training
system. It is protected against short-circuits by an automatic current/limit
foldback circuit.
Push-Button Station:
The Push-Button Station consists of two
momentary push-button switches, one with
normally open contact, and one with normally
closed contact.
Relay:
The Relay consists in a relay coil controlling three
Sets of normally open and normally closed
contacts.
Limit-Switch Assembly:
The Limit-Switch Assembly consists of two mechanical
limit switches with roller arm actuator that are used to
sense the position of the rod of the Cylinders.
Each switch has one normally open and one normally
closed contact.
Pilot-Lamp Station:
The Pilot-Lamp Station
consists of two pilot lamps.
Conditioning Unit:
The Conditioning Unit consists of a main shutoff valve, a filter, a pressure regulator, a
filter, a pressure gauge, a 4-port manifold, four sleeve valves, and a muffler. It conditions and
limits the pressure of the air supplied to the pneumatic circuits. The Conditioning Unit
requires compressed air from a central air supply or a portable unit such as the optional Air
Compressor.
Accumulator:
The Accumulator consists in a one-liter (61-in3) metal tank that is used to store pressurized
air. It can provide a short-term air supply for actuation of the Cylinders,
Single-Acting Cylinder:
The Single-Acting Cylinder provides a linear pushing motion over a 10.2-cm (4-in)
stroke. Its rod is extended under pressurized air and retracted by a spring.
Double-Acting Cylinder:
The Double-Acting Cylinder provides a linear push-pull motion over a 10.2-cm (4-in)
stroke. Its rod is both extended and retracted under pressurized air.
Tubing Set:
Procedure:
Part 1:
1. Connect the pneumatic circuit shown in Figure 5.1. Use a Directional Valve, Push-
2. On the conditioning unit, close the shutoff valves, and turn the regulator adjusting
knob completely counterclockwise.
Part 2:
1. Connect the pneumatic circuit shown in Figure 5.2.
2. Connect the Electropneumatic Circuit Using Limit Switches as shown in Figure 5.3.
