Introduction to Automation Studio
Modified & Revised By: : Dr. Ashraf Saleem & Eng. Rasha Noufal
Objective:
Introduction
Automation Studio is a design, animation and simulation software tool. It was created for the
automation industry, specifically to fulfill engineering, training, and testing requirements.
Automation Studio is a simulation software package into which various modules may be plugged.
Each module, also called a workshop, includes a component library with which you can create
different types of circuits such as hydraulic, pneumatic, electric, etc. These can be created by
themselves or combined with other circuit types.
- Starting Automation Studio: Double click on the Automation Studio icon on your desktop, the
main window of Automation Studio.
- To create a new project: Choose File New Project.
Click on the ok button to create the new project.
- Creating a Diagram: to create a new diagram choose File New Diagram
the Diagram Templates dialog box opens on the screen, Click ok.
Lab Experiments
- Page Setup Branch: The workspace corresponds to the available space for the creation of a
diagram. Several parameters are associated the work page. For example, you can select its
orientation and size, you can also add additional elements to your diagram such as a frame, etc.
- Layout of elements within a Diagram: layout of components and use of library, the selection of a
component to insert within a diagram is done from library. Library Explorer offers a wide variety
of hydraulic, pneumatic, control command components, etc. It allows the selection of all
necessary elements for the construction of a functional circuit. To display or hide the Library
Explorer, do the following: Select Windows from Manu bar Display Library Explorer
OR ( Press the F9 Key to open it ) .
Insertion of a component is followed by opening of its component properties dialog box. The
components properties allow the user to define behavior parameters of the component within a
diagram. Properties may relate to the components in and out sizes, to its internal behavior, or its
dimensions.
- To insert a component within your diagram:
1- If the Library Explorer is not opened, press the F9 key to open it.
The Library Explorer window opens.
2- Select the specific library by clicking on its tab.
3- Click on the workshop of your choice in the workshop list.

2- Velocity:
is the average speed of a particle of fluid past a given point.
3- Flow rate and rod speed:
The speed at which a cylinder rod moves is determined by how fast the pump can fill the volume
behind the cylinder piston.
The speed of cylinder rod (V) is calculated by dividing the oil flow rate (Q) by the piston area (A)
being acted upon.
Rod speed (V) = Flow rate (Q)
Piston area (A)

4- Pascal's Law:
Pascal's Law states that pressure applied on a confined fluid is transmitted undiminished in all
direction, and acts with equal force on equal areas, and at right angles to them.
The generated pressure is equal to the force applied to the top of the stopper divided by the area
of the stopper.

Task:

Introduction

Pre-Lab: the required pneumatic circuit diagrams using the automation studio SW; show
the whole connections and components required for each circuit.
In the lab: Build your designs and verify their operation. sure that the pressure is 4 bars
and is connected correctly. Double check your connections before switching

The piston rod of the double-acIng cylinder (Z1) should then extend when push buOon S1
"AND" push buOon S2 are actuated.

Lab Experiments
The piston rod of the double-acIng cylinder (Z1) should then extend when push buOon S1
"OR" push buOon S2 are actuated.
The working speed of the cylinder should be infinitely adjustable in both directions.
Drawing up the circuit diagram with symbols and port symbols.
Conclusion:
The ___________________ is available for the logical OR operation in the pneumatic system
control technology. A ___________________________ is used for the logic AND operation.
A " serial connection" of pneumatic signalers also results in an __________________ function.
Lab Experiments
The piston of the double-acIng cylinder (Z1) of a supply staIon extend under the
following logical condiIons: The start buOon (SO) or an auxiliary buOon (S 1) is actuated
and parts are available in the workpiece magazine (B2).
An optical display shows whether there are still enough parts available in the workpiece
magazine.
The cylinder should only retract into its back end position if it has actually reached the
front end posiIon and an acknowledgement buOon (S4) is actuated.
A 5/2 impulse valve is used as an actuator.
Additionally: for scanning workpieces in the magazine (B2) it is not possible to use a
mechanically operated signaler. The scanning should therefore occur in a "non-contact'
manner through a reflex nozzle.
For economic reasons (for example there are several manually operated 5/2 direcIonal
control valves) a 3/2 direcIonal control valve is used instead of the auxiliary buOon (S1), a
5/2 direcIonal control valve is used as a signaling element.
The working speed of the cylinder should be infinitely adjustable in both directions.
