The truth table depicts the status of the output in relation with specific
inputs. Let us assume the following
0: push buttons are not pressed and thus there is no input signal.

ATM-414 Electro-Pneumatics
The pneumatic press that is shown in the Fig.3.3 has to be operated by
two switches at the same time in order to protect the operator hands from
any possible injury during the press operation. The press will be released
automatically by a limit switch. However, another switch has to be
provided to release the press in case of the limit switch malfunction.

Latching Circuits
Definition of latching: It is a process where the relay contacts remain on
without keeping the relay coil energized. In other words, it is required
14
ATM-414 Electro-Pneumatics
sometimes to keep the circuit powered for a certain function even though
a pushbutton switch is released to the open position. Fig. 3.4 illustrates
the concept of latching before activating the switch S1 and Fig.3.5 after
activating switch S1.

ATM-414 Electro-Pneumatics
Way of operation:
When the ON pushbutton switch is
actuated as shown in Fig.3.5.a, the relay
coil is energized and thus the contact K1
closes. Even after the ON pushbutton
switch is released the electric current
continues to flow via contact K1 through
the coil, and the relay remains in the
actuated position. The on signal is
stored. When the OFF pushbutton is
pressed the current flow is interrupted

Practical task 3
Title: Latching circuit
Objectives:
Upon the competition of this task, the student should be able to control
an electro-pneumatic system by using an electrical latching circuit.
Problem description:
Parts are to be pushed away from a multi-track gravity feed magazine
into a clamping device as shown below in Fig.3.6. By pressing a
pushbutton switch the parts are pushed out of the multi-track gravity feed
magazine by a slide. After the slide has reached the forward end position
it has to return to its start position.
Hint: A relay with latching function is to be used for signal storage.
