Applying the principles of electro-pneumatics (EP) in food and beverage industries with the integration of timer and counter in a motion sequence control. Double acting cylinders are utilized in this study that will properly simulate the effect of different electro-pneumatics control systems. Forward motion sequence control directed the entire EP circuits and piston rod's operation speed are controlled. The sensing information of all linear actuators is carried out by limit switches or electrical rollers that sense whether an extension or retraction has occurred. This information is passed to different relays such as counter relay, relay with switch-off delay and relay with switch-on delay. © (2014) Trans Tech Publications, Switzerland.
