Electro-pneumatic control
Electro-pneumatic control systems are built with electrical components to control pneumatic components.
Description
The working medium, compressed air, is controlled by electrical signals.In contrast to purely pneumatic controls, electro-pneumatic controls allow significantly more complex functions, especially through the use of electronic circuits such as programmable logic controls. The advantage of pneumatics lies in the simple and cost-effective implementation of actuators, for example with pneumatic cylinders.
