PNEUMATIC SYSTEM
WHAT IS ELECTRO-PNEUMATIC?
Definition :
Electro-pneumatic term is defined from the
words of electro which means electrical and
pneumatic which means air pressure.
The electro-pneumatics equipments and system
is an integration of electrical and mechanical
components with compressed air source.
Electro pneumatic is a pneumatic control system
where air pressure and direction of valve are
controlled by an electrical current.
ELECTRO-PNEUMATICS’ CIRCUIT
Electro pneumatic is integration of two control
circuit
1. Pneumatic Circuit
2. Electrical Circuit

ELECTRICAL CIRCUIT
Note: You cannot energize your pneumatic circuit if you don’t have the electrical
circuit.
BASIC CONTROL SYSTEM
SIGNAL FLOW AND COMPONENT OF AN
ELECTRO-PNEUMATIC CONTROL SYSTEM
Sensors :
1. Mechanical Position sensor (Limit switch)
2. Proximity sensor
3. Reed switch

PROCESSING ELEMENT - RELAY
Relay is an electrically actuated switch, contains a coil and
a contactor switch or multiples contactors.
When power is applied to relay coil, the core magnetizes,
drawing the contact assembly in.
This will change the state of all the contacts in the relay
(i.e., N.O contact becomes closed or N.C contact becomes
open).
Relay uses small amount of power to control switching
(advantage). The voltage applied to the coil doesn’t have to
be the same as that in control circuit.
Relay is used to allow low voltage control systems to switch
large current/ high voltage (function / advantage)
