Q4. (a) With aid of the suitable diagrams, explain the following pneumatic
components.
(b) Draw the pneumatic symbols to explain the following directional control valves
(c) Explain the difference between “Supply air throttling” & “Exhaust air throttling”
Q5. Figure shows the sequence of operation of three double acting cylinders 1A, 2A and
3A. Sequence is operated so that finally metal strip, X is bending into the required
shape. The sequence that required bending the metal strip is as follows,
1A + / 2A + / 3A + / 1A - / 2A - / 3A -.
Using suitable directional control valves and other required components, construct
the pneumatic circuit. (You may assume suitable limit switches are available).
Also draw the step diagram to illustrate the motion of the three cylinders.

Instrument”
(c) Explain how you calibrate the “Bourdon tube pressure gauge”
i. Proportional Action
ii. ON-OFF Controller Characteristics
iii. Tuning of the controller
iv. OFF SET of proportional controller
v. Integral Action
(b) Write a short essay on “Programmable Logic Controller”. (Limit your essay
into 150 words.)
(c) Describe operation characteristic of “Differential Pressure Cell” (DP Cell) and
relevant applications.
