4 Connect the input port (P) of the 5/2 Solenoid valve to the manifold. This valve controls the flow of compressed
air to the next stage.
5 Connect Output port (Port No.2) of the 5/2 Single Solenoid valve to the Input (Piston Rod end side) port of the
Double Acting Cylinder

6 Connect another Output port (Port No.4) of the 5/2 Single Solenoid valve to the Input (Piston head end side)
port of the Double Acting Cylinder
7 Instructor should check the connections properly

B Electric Connection
1 Connect one terminal of the normally open (NO) contact (contact no.3) of the push button switch to the positive
side (24V) of the power supply.
2 Connect the other terminal of the NO contact (contact no.4) of the push button switch to the A1 terminal of the
relay coil. This is typically the first coil input..
3 Connect the A2 terminal of the relay coil to the 0V (ground) of the power supply.
4 Connect one terminal of the NO contact (contact no.3) of the relay to the positive side (24V) of the power
supply.
5 Connect the other terminal of the NO contact (contact no.4) of the relay to the solenoid coil. This is typically
one of the terminals of the solenoid valve that controls the pneumatic actuator.

6 Connect the other terminal of the solenoid coil to the 0V (ground) of the power supply.
7 Ensure that all connections are secure and correct before proceeding.
8 Press and release the push button switch to serve as a manual control mechanism for the single-acting
cylinder actuator

When the push button switch is pressed, it completes the circuit, energizing the relay coil,
which in turn activates the solenoid valve connected to the Double-acting cylinder. This allows
compressed air to flow into the cylinder, causing it to extend or retract, depending on its design.
Releasing the push button switch interrupts the circuit, de-energizing the relay coil and stopping
the flow of compressed air to the cylinder, thus halting its movement.

9 Confirm with the instructor that the system is operating as expected and all connections are correct.
