Development of a design-aiding and self-learning tool for pneumatic sequential circuits

الملخص EN

A windows-based computer package for pneumatic sequential circuits is implemented using Microsoft Visual Basic 6.0 as a programming language.

This package enables the user to construct pneumatic sequential circuits and simulate their operation.

The package has a library consisting of four types of cylinders, delay valve, signal generating valve, compressed air unit, four types of logic valves, and twenty-one types of the most commonly used directional valves.

'1'he package is enhanced with powerfal animation features that enable the user to construct pneumatic sequential circuit and test its operation in a friendly interaction.

The workspace provided within the package is sufficient to add about 67500 pneumatic components.

'1'he package is useful for teaching, self-learning, troubleshooting, and testing new design ideas by going through the cycle step-by-ste
