Objectives: Cylinder A

This document outlines an exercise on pneumatic circuits involving signal overlap. It includes 5 objectives such as familiarizing components, drawing function diagrams, designing circuits, and simulating systems. The sequence involves single and continuous cycles of cylinders A and B with an optional emergency stop. Function diagrams include displacement diagrams and control charts. Materials for the different circuits are listed, involving cylinders, valves, switches, buttons, and air supply units. Sample pneumatic circuits are drawn for single, continuous, and combined cycles with and without emergency stops.
