Introduction
This workbook is part of the training system for automation technology from Festo Didactic GmbH & Co. KG.
The system provides a solid basis for practice-oriented training and vocational education. Training package
TP 240 deals with the subject of sensors in pneumatics.
The subject of pressure sensors, flow sensors, analogue position transmitters for pneumatic cylinders,
signal converters and sensors for vacuum technology is treated in depth.
A permanent workstation equipped with a Festo Didactic profile plate is a prerequisite for setting up the
controllers. The profile plate has 14 parallel T-slots at 50 mm intervals. A power supply unit with short-
circuit protection is used as a direct voltage source (input: 230 V, 50 Hz, output: 24 V, max. 5 A). A portable
compressor with silencer (230 V, approx. 50 l/min, max. 800 kPa = 8 bar) can be used for compressed air
supply.
Working pressure should not exceed 600 kPa (6 bar). Ideal control sequence reliability can be achieved by
operating the controller at a working pressure of 500 kPa (5 bar) without oil.
In addition to equipment set TP 240, you’ll also need components from equipment set TP 201 in order to
complete the 10 exercises.
Data sheets for the individual components are also available (cylinders, sensors etc.).
Training materials
The book of exercises for this workbook is provided as training material for trainees and pupils:
• Sensors in pneumatics, order no. 566915
The book of exercises can be ordered separately without the workbook. The worksheets can thus be easily
made available to trainees and pupils.

Work instructions and safety precautions
General
• Trainees should only work with the circuits under the supervision of a trainer.
• Observe specifications included in the data sheets for the individual components and in particular all
safety instructions!
• Faults which may impair safety must not be generated in the training environment and must be
eliminated immediately.
Mechanical setup
• Only reach into the setup when it’s at a complete standstill.
• Mount all the components securely onto the profile plate.
• Adhere to instructions regarding positioning of the components.
Electrical setup
• Use low voltage only (max. 24 V DC).
• Electrical connections must only be established and interrupted in the absence of voltage!
• Only use connecting cables with safety plugs for electrical connections.
• Only pull the plug when disconnecting connecting cables – never pull the cable.
Pneumatics
• Do not exceed the maximum permissible pressure of 600 kPa (6 bar).
• Do not activate compressed air until all the tubing connections have been completed and secured.
• Do not disconnect tubing while under pressure.
• Danger of injury when switching compressed air on!
Cylinders may advance and retract automatically.
• Danger of accident due to tubing slipping off!
– Use shortest possible tubing connections.
– Wear safety glasses.
– In the event that tubing slips off:
Switch compressed air supply off immediately.
• Pneumatic circuit setup:
Connect the components with plastic tubing with an outside diameter of 4 or 6 mm. Push the tubing
into the push-in connector as far as it will go.
• Switch compressed air supply off before dismantling the circuit.
• Dismantling the pneumatic circuit:
Press the blue release ring down, after which the tubing can be pulled out.

Mounting technology
The mounting boards for the components are equipped with mounting variant A, B or C:
• Variant A, snap-in system
Lightweight components that are not load-bearing (e.g. directional control valves and sensors). Simply
clip the components into the slot on the profile plate. Release components from the slots by actuating
the blue lever.
• Variant B, bolt system
Components with medium load capacity (e.g. pneumatic cylinders). These components are clamped
onto the profile plate using T-head bolts. The blue, knurled nut is used for clamping and loosening.
• Variant C, screw system
For components with high load capacity and components which are seldom removed from the profile
plate (for example on-off valve with filter-regulator). The components are secured with socket head
screws and T-head bolts.
Recommended accessories
A digital multimeter is required in order to evaluate the circuits after setting them up.
The following are measured with the digital multimeter:
• operating voltage, output voltage and output current.

Setup and function of a magnetic proximity switch
– Describe the setup and function of a magnetic proximity switch (reed switch).
Reed switches are magnetically actuated proximity switches. They consist of two contact reeds which
are located in a glass tube which is filled with inert gas. When a magnetic force is applied, the two
reeds make contact allowing electrical current to flow. In the case of reed switches which function as
NC contacts, the contact blades are preloaded with small magnets. This preloading is overpowered by
the significantly stronger switching magnet. Reed switches have a long service life and minimal
switching times (approx. 0.2 ms).
They’re maintenance-free, but mustn’t be used at locations with strong magnetic fields (e.g. in
proximity to resistance welding units).
Sensing the end position of a pneumatic cylinder
The front end-position of a drive cylinder is to be sensed with a proximity switch. The output signal from the
proximity switch will be processed with a programmable logic controller. Any of the proximity switches listed
below can be selected.
– Select suitable proximity switches and explain how the specified requirements are fulfilled.
� Pneumatic proximity switch
� Reed proximity switch
� Inductive proximity switch
A pneumatic limit switch generates a pneumatic output signal which cannot be processed by the
electronic controller.
Proximity switches are contactless and require no mechanical actuation. Proximity switches are
insensitive to contamination.
The magnetic field of a permanent magnet attached to the pneumatic cylinder’s piston can be sensed
by Reed proximity switches. As the piston rod and the trip cam are made of metal, inductive proximity
switches can be used.

Terminology from the field of proximity switch technology.
The output switching characteristics of proximity switches are frequently specified in data sheets with the
abbreviations NO and NC.
– Explain the meanings of these terms.
NO: normally open
A sensor is designated NO (normally open) when it reads logic 0 (zero voltage) in the normal state (no
object detected). Logic 1 is only transmitted to the controller when the sensor detects an object. Seen
from a switching technology standpoint, this sensor thus corresponds to normally open contacts.
NC: normally closed
A sensor is designated NC (normally closed) when it reads logic 1 in the normal state (no object
detected). When an object is detected, the switching output transmits logic 0 to the controller. Seen
from a switching technology standpoint, this sensor thus corresponds to normally closed contacts.

Data sheet for 3/2-way solenoid valve (excerpt)
– Calculate how much output current will have to be supplied by the proximity switch in order to switch
the solenoid coil. Use the data included in the data sheet for the solenoid valve. Operating voltage is
24 V DC.
Power consumption of the coil is 1.5 W. The power equation (P = U · I ) is turned around and current
is calculated as follows:
U
PI = =
24 V
1.5 W= 0.0625 A = 62.5 mA
– Compare the results with the technical data for the magnetic proximity switch and supplement the
following data.
Switching current of the coil: 62.5 mA
Maximum proximity switch output current: 200 mA
Maximum proximity switch switching capacity: 6 W

6 © Festo Didactic GmbH & Co. KG 566910
– Can the proximity switch be used to directly actuate the solenoid valve? Which factors must be taken
into consideration?
Yes, the 3/2-way solenoid valve can be switched using the magnetic proximity switch. To be
determined is whether or not the proximity switch can reliably switch the inductive load over long
periods of time without a protective circuit.
Types of proximity switches
– Describe the difference between contactless and contacting proximity switches, and provide an example
of each.
Contactless proximity switches
In the case of contactless proximity switches, no moving contacts are switched. Instead, the sensor’s
output is electronically connected to either supply voltage or earth (= output voltage of 0 V).
Examples:
Magnetic contactless proximity switches (inductive magnetic, magneto-resistive), inductive proximity
switches, capacitive proximity switches, optical proximity switches
Contacting proximity switches
In the case of contacting proximity switches, the contact blades are closed, for example, when a
magnet approaches, so that electrical current is able to flow and the sensor’s output is connected
either to supply voltage or earth (= output voltage of 0 V).
Example:
Reed switch
– What are the advantages of contactless proximity switches compared to contacting proximity switches?
Advantages of contactless proximity switches:
• No contact problems, e.g. bounce
• Reliable, bounce-free switching characteristics without dual switching points
• No wear, as opposed to metallic contacts, and thus long service life
• Insensitive to contamination and vibration
