Textbook Question
Chapter 16, Problem 4RQ
Refer to the circuit shown in Figure 16-11. Assume that the platform is located on the lower floor. When the UP push button is pressed, the platform rises. When the platform reaches the upper floor, however, the pump does not turn off but continues to run until the overload relay opens the overload contacts. Which of the following could cause this problem?
- a. The solenoid valve opened when limit switch LS1 opened.
- b. The UP push button is shorted.
- c. Limit switch LS1 did not open its contacts.
- d. Limit switch LS2 contacts did not reclose when the platform began to rise.

Two double acting pneumatic cylinders (A, B) in a process industry should extend together at the same time to open two different valves. On the return stroke both cylinder rods return at the same time. The starting is by a detent switch. Both the cylinders are of the same size with the same stroke length. In terms of notation, the cycle is required to go on till the detent start-up switch is pressed again. Draw the electro pneumatic circuit neatly. Briefly explain its operation.
