The principle of the control chain is used for the preparation of the circuit diagram.
Every element of a control chain has a certain task to perform in the processing and
further transmission of signals.
This structuring of a system into functional blocks has proven itself in the following
tasks:
· Arrangement of the elements in the circuit diagram
· Definition of the nominal sizes, nominal current and nominal voltage of
components
· Set-up and commissioning of the controller
· Identification of the components for maintenance work

Non-return valves block the flow in one direction and release it in the opposite
direction. A distinction is made between:
· Non-return valves
· Shuttle valves (OR)
· Dual pressure valves (AND)
· One-way flow control valves
· Quick exhaust valves
Pressure control valves influence the pressure or are controlled through the size of
the pressure. A distinction is made between:
· Pressure regulating valves
· Pressure relief valves
· Pressure sequence valves

Pressure regulators have the function of keeping the output pressure mainly
constant, independent of variations in the input pressure and the air consumption.
If the pressure rises at the outlet, the diaphragm moves against the spring force and
the flow cross-section at the valve seat is reduced or closed.
If the pressure drops at the outlet, the spring presses against the diaphragm and the
passage cross-section at the valve seat is enlarged or opened.

The check element blocks the flow of air in one direction, so that it flows across an
adjustable throttle in this direction.
The air flow from the opposite direction lifts the seal of the check element from the
seat. The compressed air can flow almost unrestricted in this direction.

The PE converter is actuated with compressed air. When the pressure reaches a
preset value, an electric signal is generated.
If the pressure working against the diaphragm overcomes the spring force, a stem
actuates an electrical switch contact.

1. In the normal position, the solenoid coils are deenergized and the piston is
centered in its mid-position by the two springs. Ports 2 and 3 as well as 4 and 5
are connected. Port 1 is blocked.
2. If current is applied to the lefthand solenoid coil, the piston moves to the right.
Ports 1 and 4 as well as 2 and 3 are connected with each other.
3. If current flows through the righthand solenoid coil, the piston moves to the left.
In this position, Ports 1 and 2 as well as 4 and 5 are connected.
Each of the two actuated switching positions is held as long as current flows through
the corresponding solenoid coil. If the flow of current is interrupted, the piston
switches back to the mid-position.

In electropneumatics, the solenoid coil is the element that switches the valves.
A relay switches 1, 2 or more contacts. The relay can also be a time or temperature-
controlled element.

The Relay
In practice, the construction of a relay can be very different, but the function is
nevertheless the same in principle:
· When a voltage is applied to the relay coil through contacts A1 and A2, an
electric current flows through the windings. A magnetic field is built up and pulls
the armature against the core of the coil.
· Switch contact 1 is connected with switch contact 4.
· After removing the voltage, the armature is brought back into its initial position
by a spring.
· Switching contact 1 is connected with switching contact 2.
A relay can have multiple switching contacts which can be actuated simultaneously.

Reed switches are actuated through a magnetic field. In industrial applications, most
reed switches are used with LED displays.
When the magnetic ring moves past the reed switch, the switching contacts are
closed as a result of the magnetic field and thus provide an output signal.

series:
· The AND logic function can have two or more inputs. A combination of switches
and sensors may be involved.
· The function is represented through a logic symbol with two inputs and one
output.
· Both input signals must be present to switch the output.

Control Chain
The principle of the control chain should be understood as being only a guideline.
The signal flow of the control system defines the structure of the control chain:

After actuating S1, current flows through the coil 1Y1, which switches the valve 1.1.
Compressed air flows from port 1 to port 2, and the piston rod advances.
If S1 is no longer actuated, there is no current through coil 1Y1. Valve 1.1 switches
back into the initial position.
The cylinder is vented through port 3 of valve 1.1, and the piston rod retracts.

A relay can be held in the switched condition if a holding current path is switched in
parallel to the ON pushbutton through an internal normally-open contact in the
relay.
An OFF pushbutton must be built into the memory circuit. The installed position of
the OFF pushbutton determines the function of the memory circuit.
In this dominating set memory circuit, the pushbutton S1 dominates the pushbutton
S2.
If S1 and S2 are pressed simultaneously, current flows through the relay coil K1.

Double solenoid valves are also called bistable valves or memory valves:
· The valve illustrated is actuated by two solenoid coils.
· The valve retains the switched position brought about through energising one of
the coils, even when the signal to switch the valve is cancelled.
· The switched position is reversed only when a signal is applied to the opposite
coil or a manual override is operated.
· To reverse the switched position, a signal only needs to be applied to one coil.

circuit.
The identifications used in the circuit diagram are used in the terminal connection

The terminal points and the cables are numbered. This facilitates the setting-up of
the controller as well as troubleshooting and maintenance.

Alterable Controls
Relay-controlled systems are hard wired. The relay control can be replaced in whole
or in part by a programmable controller.
The structure of a system that is controlled via a programmable logic controller (PLC)
is similar to that of a relay-controlled system. Both systems can be subdivided as
follows:
· Signal input
· Signal processing
· Signal output
The signal processing part is the part that can be hard wired or freely programmable.
