ELECTROPNEUMATICS

ELECTROPNEUMATICS is the integration of


electrical and electronics technology to
pneumatics technology.

Includes electrical switches, relay,


contactors and etc.

Electrical and electronics technology is used


as the CONTROL devices because of its
flexibility, ease in installation, and
compactness while pneumatics technology
is used as the POWER devices;.
COMPARISON OF PNEUMATICS AND
ELECTROPNEUMATICS
ADVANTAGE OF ELECTRICAL/ELECTRONIC CONTROL
AS COMPARED TO PNEUMATIC CONTROL

1. Increased reliability (less wear, mechanically


moving parts)

2. Reduced commissioning complexity, particularly


in complex control systems

3. Reduced installation expenditure

4. Simple exchange of information or signals


CONTROL ELEMENTS

SOME COMMON DIRECTIONAL CONTROL VALVES


CONTROL ELEMENTS

SOLENOID + VALVE = SOLENOID VALVES

Uses the principle of solenoid to actuate the valve


therefore changes its switching position

Valves which are electrically actuated via the solenoid are


called solenoid valves and pneumatic valves actuated
electrically are called electropneumatic valves

Most common electropneumatic valves:


1. 2/2-Way Valve, Solenoid Actuated, Spring Returned
2. 3/2-Way Valve, Solenoid Actuated, Spring Returned
3. 3/2-Way Valve, Double Solenoid
4. 5/2-Way Valve, Solenoid Actuated, Spring Returned
5. 5/2-Way Valve, Double Solenoid
6. 5/3-Way Valve, Double Solenoid, Spring Centered
CONTROL ELEMENTS

SOLENOID

An electromagnetic device used to generate magnetic


field and therefore a resulting mechanical pull or push
(usually linear motion)

It is composed of a long thin loop of conductive wire


wrapped around a magnetic core and generates a
magnetic field around it when an electric current is
passed through the conductive wire
CONTROL ELEMENTS

SOLENOID + VALVE = SOLENOID VALVES

2/2-Way Valve, Solenoid 3/2-Way Valve, Solenoid 3/2-Way Valve, Double


Actuated, Spring Returned Actuated, Spring Returned Solenoid

5/2-Way Valve, Solenoid 5/3-Way Valve, Double 5/2-Way Valve, Solenoid


Actuated, Spring Returned Solenoid, Actuated,
Spring Centered
Other Electrical Components

Power supply unit


•The signal control section of an electro-pneumatic
controller is supplied with power via the electrical
mains.
•The power supply converts the incoming 230VAC
to 24VDC
Other Electrical Components

Electrical switches

•Switches are installed in a circuit to open or close


the flow of current to the consuming device.
•There are two common types; one, which is
momentarily activated, and the other mechanically
interlocked (detented).
Other Electrical Components

Electrical switches

Breaks or closes circuit connections used to turn


on/off a system, a device (load) or a station.

Switches are primarily distinguished by their


contact configuration:
1. Normally open (make): path 3 to 4
2. Normally closed (break): path 1 to 2
3. Changeover contacts: path 1 to 2 or 1 to 4
Other Electrical Components

MULTIPLE-POLE & DETENT SWITCH

A switch with multiple set of contacts (pole) and


one actuating element

Switch with this circuit symbol means DETENT


SWITCH; that is it has
mechanical latching
Sometimes called Rocker Switch
Other Electrical Components

RELAYS

Serves as the foundation for building hard-wiring


electrical control of automated systems (eg.
automatic assembly eqt., process eqt.)

Electromagnetically-actuated switch that switches


contact via electrical current that produces
magnetic field
Other Electrical Components
Other Electrical Components

ADVANTAGES OF RELAYS DISADVANTAGES OF RELAYS

1. Easily adapted to various operating voltages 1. Working surface of contacts wear through
2. Not much affected by ambient temperature oxidation
3. Ideally infinite resistance between contacts in 2. Larger space requirements compared to
the off-state transistors and thyristors
4. Ideally zero resistance between contacts in on- 3. Noise is created during switching operation
state (because current generated magnetic field w/c
5. Several independent circuits can be switched in turn induces current to other circuits)
4. Limited switching speed (3ms to 17ms)
APPLICATION 5. Relatively low pick-up time compared to
transistors and thyristors

To multiply signals
To link information/signal
To separate the control and main circuits
