Abstract

This paper presents a way of speed regulation of double acting pneumatic cylinder, using remotely controlled one-way flow control valve. For this purpose, at the Faculty of Technical Sciences in Novi Sad, an experimental setup is developed and implemented. The control system is realized using the following hardware components: Arduino Yun for system control, step motor coupled with one-way flow control valve for speed regulation, directional control valve and double acting cylinder. CEyeClon Viewer is used as a software component for remote access to the system. In addition, the user application is developed. The application allows setting the input parameters and starting the experiment. After experiment execution, the measured results, which represent the times needed for the cylinder extraction as well as average speeds, are shown in the form of diagram. Using Web camera, user can monitor the whole system during experiment execution.
