Pneumatic circuits are designed by various methods. Earlier circuits were designed based on intuitive method which mostly fulfil only the operational requirements. Control aspects and systematic design are evolved by using analytical techniques like Cascade, Karnaugh - Veitch (K-V) diagram, etc., and being used nowadays. In the present investigation, three above methods are analyzed for the component assembly problem. Different features like cost, control aspects, fault diagnosis, etc., are compared and K-V diagram methodology is found more appropriate in many respects, selected for circuit design.

Abstract


Pneumatic circuits are designed by various methods. Earlier circuits were designed based on intuitive method which mostly fulfil only the operational requirements. Control aspects and systematic design are evolved by using analytical techniques like Cascade, Karnaugh - Veitch (K-V) diagram, etc., and being used nowadays. In the present investigation, three above methods are analyzed for the component assembly problem. Different features like cost, control aspects, fault diagnosis, etc., are compared and K-V diagram methodology is found more appropriate in many respects, selected for circuit design.
