Design & Evaluate Pneumatic Circuit for Double-Acting Cylinder

[xlinepeace]

Hi, i desperately need help on this question.

A double acting cylinder is to operate automatically outwards and inwards for the duration of a production shift in a factory. The cylinder must be started at the beginning of each shift, and stopped at the end of the shift, manually. Analyse, design and evaluate a circuit for this pneumatic system, as follows:

a) Design the circuit diagram
b) Evaluate and test the circuit diagram
c) Build and operate on the pneumatic boards
Equipment to be used; double acting cylinder (1off), 3/2 spring valve with roller action (2off), 3/2 spring valve with green button (1off), spring valve with red button (1off), 5/2 valve with air pilot at both ends, 3/2 valve with air pilot at both ends

please help!

a) Design the circuit diagram: The diagram below shows a possible circuit diagram for the double acting cylinder. The 3/2 spring valves with roller action are in parallel, and the 3/2 spring valve with green button is connected to the 5/2 valve with air pilot at both ends, while the 3/2 valve with air pilot at both ends is connected to the spring valve with red button. b) Evaluate and test the circuit diagram: To evaluate and test the circuit diagram, it is important to check whether all the components are connected correctly and that the pressure is adequate for the operation of the double acting cylinder. It is also important to ensure that the pressure is not too high or too low, as this can cause problems with the operation of the cylinder. c) Build and operate on the pneumatic boards: Once the circuit diagram has been evaluated and tested, the next step is to build the pneumatic boards. This involves connecting the components according to the circuit diagram and ensuring that all connections are secure and in the correct place. Once the boards are built, they can be operated on to test the operation of the double acting cylinder.
