    The document describes the cascade step-by-step method for implementing repeat pattern sequences in pneumatic cylinders. It involves dividing the sequence into groups so that no letter is repeated, assigning control valves and limit switches to each cylinder movement, and using group valves to pressurize the manifold lines one at a time to enforce the sequence order. Connections are made between the limit switches and control valves to initiate the next movement upon completion of each one. This cascade circuit method provides a standard solution for any repeat pattern sequence while minimizing additional logic components.

    Cascade Step By Step

    Introduction
    A repeat pattern sequence for cylinder operation is one where the order of the
    movements in the first half of the sequence is repeated in the second half

    A+ B+ C+ D+ A- B- C- D-
    A- B+ C- A+ B- C+
    C+ A+ B- C- A- B+
    Each cylinder may have one Out and In stroke only in the sequence .There
    may be any number of cylinders in the sequence

    Dr. Hisham El-Sherif


    MCTR704 – Mechatronics Lab
    The three cylinders A , B and C are to perform a simple repeat pattern sequence as follows:
    A+ B+ C+ C- B- A-
    Apply the rule “The signal given by the completion of each movement will initiate the next movement”
    Dr. Hisham El-Sherif
    MCTR704 – Mechatronics Lab
    If the rule applied to a repeat pattern sequence is applied to any other sequence
    there will be opposed signals on one or more of the 5/2 valves preventing
    operation
    This circuit demonstrates the problem The sequence is A+ B+ B- A-

    Dr. Hisham El-Sherif

     When the valve is set to Run.
     cylinder A will not move because the 5/2 valve has an opposed signal.
     It is still being signalled to hold position by the feedback valve B.
     If A was able to move + a similar problem will occur for the 5/2 valve of B once
    it was +

    Solution
    1. Cascade (pneumatic)
    2. Electro-pneumatic
    3. PLC (Programmable logic controller)

     Cascade circuits provide a standard method of solving any sequence.


     It uses a minimum of additional logic hardware (one logic valve per group of
    sequential steps)

    Example 1
    A + A- B+ B-

    Dr. Hisham El-Sherif

    Step 1
    Divide the sequence ( A+ A- B+ B- ) into Groups so that no letter is repeated
    within any Group

    A + A- B+ B-

    Group 1 A- B+

    Group 2 B- A+

    Step 2
    1- For each cylinder, assign a 5/2 control valve

    2- Two spring-return 3/2 valves for the each cylinder end strokes.

    Step 3
    Assign Group Valve or Cascade Valve to control air pressure to the Group
    manifold lines so that only one Group manifold line is pressurized at a time.

    Step 4
    Connect the input of the limit valve at each stroke type to its own Group
    manifold

    Step 5
    For the first letter in each Group A+ (A- B+) B- , connect the corresponding
    control valve input to its own Group manifold.

    Dr. Hisham El-Sherif


    MCTR704 – Mechatronics Lab
    Step 6
    For the last letter in each Group, connect the output of the corresponding limit
    valve to switch to the next Group

    For all other letters, connect the output of the corresponding limit valve to the
    control valve input corresponding to the next letter in the sequence
