The main goal is the measurement of the pneumatic cylinders’ working hours that can help the industry to be used and improve. So, when we could find a solution with automation and programming whit a logic controller like PLC devices to run Pneumatic cylinders for a certain number of cycles and put them under a certain pressure to measure the lifetime of any cylinder.
For executing, this kind of test, we need to have an automated program to run the test for a long time. This type of automatic operation can be performed by a different variety of software and devices which depends on the specialist of people and/or the different environments and availability of controllers such as Arduino, Microcontrollers, PLC devices, and other different logic controllers’ programs.
In this case here, I will explain, design, and investigate the measurement with a PLC device from SIEMENS company. The designing, programming, and implementation of the whole test bench have been performed completely practically by Eng. MOHAMMAD SHEKASTEH.
