The document describes a problem involving distributing cylindrical parts evenly from an outlet channel to two inlet channels using a handling device. The device uses cylinders to move the parts and a gripper to pick up and release the parts. The operating conditions specify that the device run in continuous cycle mode using start and stop buttons. Sensing of parts is simulated by a switch. The cylinders retract and gripper opens after an emergency stop. A reset is needed to return the gripper to its initial position after an emergency stop. The number of cycles can be limited by a preselect counter.

A-50 Exercise 16
Problem description
An overhead trolley beam transports the parts to be galvanised from a
work surface across the three baths and back again. A doubleacting cylinder positions the basket on the work surface or else lowers it into the baths. It remains in the forward end position (bath 2) or swings the basket up and down in the bath (baths 1 and 3). Partial strokes are sensed by three limit switches. If the trolley has approached a horizontal position, a control lamp is illuminated (bath 1 lamp H1, bath 2 lamp H2, bath 3 lamp H3 and work surface lamp H4). In the initial position, the basket hangs above the work surface. When the up/down switch S2 is actuated, the cylinder extends and the basket is deposited on the work surface for loading. When the initial start position has once more been reached, the cylinder can be actuated via start button S. The movements of the trolley (from work surface to bath 1, from bath 1 to bath 2, from bath 2 to bath 3 and from bath 3 back to the work surface) are simulated by four identical time periods t1 = 2 seconds. Once the basket has been dipped into bath 1 (and bath 3), the piston extends four half strokes in the forward stroke area. The basket remains in bath 2 in the forward stroke area t2 = 3 seconds.
Operating condition
When the main power supply has been switched on, the control is to be activated via the SET button S1 and the time interval t1 started simultaneously. During this time period, the cylinder is to be brought into the initial position (as it would have moved into the forward end position by leakage losses when the installation was stopped). When the time t1 has expired, the positioning lamp H4 is illuminated. The installation can only be started once a pneumatic-electrical converter has signalled the supply of compressed air.

A-58 Exercise 18
Problem description
Workpieces are drilled vertically and horizontally on an eight-station rotary indexing table. Six feed units are used for the various machining operations. Two each for drilling, counterboring and countersinking. Two transferring units load and unload the machine respectively. Lifting cylinders 1A and 3A descend onto the workpieces. These are picked up by suction (functioning of the vacuum generator is to be indicated by a lamp) and then lifted. The stroke of cylinder 5A then causes the table to index on by one position. At the same time, transfer cylinders 2A and 4A approach the positions for placing on the indexing table and depositing via the conveyor belt 2. Then, cylinder 5A latches the rotary indexing table and the two lifting cylinders 1A and 3A deposit the parts. At the same time as the lifting cylinder retracts, processing via feed units 6A to 11A begins. When these have reached their forward end positions, the feed units and the transfer cylinders return to their initial positions.
Operating condition
Choice between manual and automatic operating modes.
Separate push buttons for START and STOP (continuous cycle). The start signal must be maintained until the machine has been supplied with lubricant via a centralised lubrication system (the pump motor is to be simulated by a lamp). Then, the start signal is to be stored and indicated by a lamp. Workpiece sensing on conveyor belt 1 is simulated by a switch. The air blast for swarf removal is to be simulated using a solenoid valve.

A-59 Exercise 18
EMERGENCY-STOP The electrical power to the control must be switched off. The feed units are to retract. The transfer units and the cylinder of the indexing table are to complete their movements. When the vacuum generators are active, they must continue to remain active until, after the RESET and a renewed START, the controller gives the command to deposit. RESET If, after indexing on, processing can no longer take place because the EMERGENCY-STOP has been actuated, processing must be carried out in RESET mode via a time control. All cylinders must be brought into their initial position. In the case of the transport units, cylinders 1A and 3A must retract before cylinder 2A and 4A. Note regarding solution For the purpose of simulation, this exercise can be solved using four cylinders: The transer units are to be represented by double-acting cylinders. Cylinders 1A and 2A are sufficient for this as the movements of the two units are synchronised. Cylinder 5A for indexing of the table is also represented by a doubleacting cylinder. All feed units are to be represented by a single-acting cylinder. Only the limit switches of the four cylinders are to be drawn in the electrical circuit diagram.

A-68 Exercise 20
Problem description
Cylindrical parts are to be distributed evenly from outlet channel 1 onto
the two inlet channels 2 and 3 (see displacement-step diagram)
Operating condition
The unit is to be operated in continuous cycle only. START and STOP
AT END OF CYCLE are each to be effected by one push button. Sensing of parts at channel 1 is to be simulated by a switch. If this switch is not activated, the unit is to stop at the end of the cycle. After the swivel movement to inlet channels 2 and 3 has been carried out, the gripper is not to open until a short delay time has expired. After actuation of the EMERGENCY-STOP switch, cylinders 1A, 2A and 3A are to retract and cylinder 4M switched to an unpressurised condition. When the EMERGENCY-STOP has been unlatched, the reset button is to return cylinder 4M to the initial position. It must be possible to limit the number of cycles using a preselect counter.
