PLO5. Demonstrate an awareness and consideration for societal, health, safety, legal and
cultural issues and their consequent responsibilities.

COURSE LEARNING OUTCOMES (CLO) :

Upon completion of this course, students will be able to:

CLO3. Perform experiment on pneumatic, electro-pneumatic and hydraulic circuit during

practical session. (P4, PLO5)

Introduction to electro-
pneumatics

Electro-pneumatic is widely used in

many areas of industrial
automation. Production, assembly,
and packaging systems worldwide.
These systems are driven by
electro-pneumatic control
systems. Fig.1.1 (a) and Fig1.1 (b)
show different applications of Fig.1.1 (a)
electro- pneumatic machines.

In electro-pneumatics, the
pneumatic components are
controlled by using electrical and
electronic circuits. Electronic and
electromagnetic sensors, electrical
switches and industrial computers
are used to replace the manual
Fig.1.1 (b)
control of a pneumatic system.

Safety and operation

The following points should be observed while working with electro-

pneumatic systems:

1. Pressurized air lines thatbecome

detached can cause accidents.
Switch off pressure immediately.
2. First connect all tubing and
secure before switching on the
compressed air.
3. Cylinders may advance or retract
as soon as the compressed air is
switchedon.
4. Do not operate the electricallimit
switch manually during fault
finding (use a tools only).
5. Limit switches should be fixed in
such a way that they contact the
trip cam of the cylinder only in the
determined direction.
6. Do not exceed the permissible working pressure.
7. Use only low voltages of ≤ 24 V.
8. Switch off the air and voltage supply before disconnecting thecircuit.
