OBJECTIVES:
1. To draw, assemble, test and describe the operation of a hydraulic circuit that
can control the actions of two double acting cylinders in a pre-determined
sequences.
APPARATUS:
Hydraulic trainer set c/w power unit, two hydraulic cylinders, hydraulic hoses
and control valves.

PROCEDURE:
1) Draw the relevant hydraulic circuit on AUTOMATION STUDIO.
2) Your hydraulic circuit must be able to perform the following task in the proper
sequence as stated below:
(a)
(b)
(c)
(d)
(e)
(f)
(g)

Cylinder A extend first, Cylinder B not moving.

Cylinder A finished extension, Cylinder B start extending.
Cylinder B finished extension.
Cylinder B retract first, Cylinder A not moving.
Cylinder B finished retraction, Cylinder A start retracting.
Cylinder A finished retracting.
All cylinders come to a completed halt.

3) Test the circuit using the simulation function in the AUTOMATION

STUDIO.
4) Assemble the circuit you have drawn in AUTOMATION STUDIO on the
Hydraulic Trainer.
5) Test you assembled circuit to show that it is fully functional. Before testing
please consult your lab supervisor.
6) Write a report on what you have done.
(NOTE: Discuss with your lab supervisor(s) on how to safely perform the tasks. )

EXAMPLE CIRCUIT: Cylinders Sequencing Circuit

1) Connect up with hoses the hydraulic circuit as shown in Figure 1 based on the
following steps:
Connect IN port of the directional control valve to PRESSURE
manifold
Connect Port A t cylinder rod end of cylinder I and cylinder 2
Connect Port B to sequence valve IN port
Connect Port B to the cap end of cylinder 2
Connect sequence valve OUT port to the cap end of cylinder I
Connect sequence valve Drain port to the DRAIN manifold
Connect OUT port of directional control valve to TANK manifold
2) Shift the directional control valve handle to left and right direction and
observe the cylinder extension and retraction.
