Exercise 1
Problem description The allocating device supplies aluminium valve blanks to a machining
station.
By operating a push button, the piston rod of the single-acting cylinder
(1A) is made to advance. After releasing the actuating button, the piston
rod returns.

Solution 1
The description of the solution makes reference to the circuit diagram Solution description
and the displacement-step diagram. With regard to the circuit diagram,
we distinguish between the detailed representation and the simplified
representation.
Service unit with on-off valve and manifold

Component (0Z2) represents the manifold (8 connections) (see also
circuit design). Component (0Z1) symbolises the service unit and on-off
valve.
Initial position (first vertical line in the motion diagram)

2
The initial position of the cylinder and valves can be ascertained from
the circuit diagram. The internal spring of cylinder (1A) holds the piston
in the retracted end position. The volume of air in the cylinder is evacu-
ated via the 3/2-way valve (1S).
Step 1-2
Through operating the 3/2-way valve (1S) via the push button, air is
applied to the chamber on the piston rod side of cylinder (1A). The pis-
ton rod of the cylinder advances, and pushes a valve blank out of the
magazine. If valve (1S) continues to be operated, the piston rod remains
in the forward end position.
Step 2-3
After releasing the valve actuating button, the air in the cylinder is ex-
hausted via the 3/2-way valve (1S). The force of the return spring
pushes the piston back to its initial position. The valve blanks are sup-
plied from the magazine by gravity.
Marginal condition
If the push button (1S) is briefly pressed, piston rod (1A) advances only
part of the way and returns immediately.
2 Initial position
The components assume the specified states required to start the sequence of op-
erations, i.e. the on-off valve (0Z1) is switched on and the system pressurised. If the
start button (1S.) is pressed, the piston rod of the cylinder (1A) advances.

Apart from the above mentioned components, you will need the Festo
Didactic profile plate on which to build the systems, as well as a source
of compressed air.
Follow up Switch off the compressed air supply by means of the 3/2-way on-off
valve (0Z1). Exchange the connections on the 3/2-way push button
valve (1S).
Re-check the operation of the control system after switching on the
compressed air.
