Example
Draw a ladder diagram for a penumatic system with single solenoid
controlled vales and involving two cylinders A and B, with limit switches
a-, a+, b-,b+ detecting the limits of the piston rod movements, so that
the sequence A+,B+,A-,B- is obtained. Include the Start Switch.

 Example
Control of a machine which is required to direct six tins along one path for packaging in a
box then 12 tins along another path for packaging in another box. A deflector plate might
be controlled by a sensor which gives an output everytime a tin passes it and activates a
cylinder to move the plate. Thus the number of passes from the sensor has to counted
and used to control the deflector. (Use-Double acting cylinder controlled by 5/2 DCV
single side solenoid actuated and spring returned)
