Objectives

1. Familiarize the different pneumatic components and its functions.

2. Draw the function diagram of the given sequence.
3. Design a pneumatic circuit and label the components.
4. Identify the pneumatic components needed to operate the system 5. Resolve the conflict between
the overlapping signals using idler switch.
6. Simulate the system using the pneumatics module.

Sequence
a) A+ A- B+ B- (single cycle)
b) A+ A- B+ B- (continuous cycle)
c) A+ A- B+ B- (single and continuous cycle)
d) A+ A- B+ B- (continuous cycle with emergency stop)
e) A+ A- B+ B- (single and continuous cycle with emergency stop)
