Design an electro-pneumatic circuit to control a double-actingcylinder via a 5/2 way singlesolenoid valve. The on switch is ofdetent type and when actuated, the piston will repeatedly extendand retract until the switch is released. The length of forwardstroke and the speed of forward and return motion should beadjustable via roller-limit switches and flow control valvesrespectively.

(a) Show pneumatic and electrical circuits for indirect control ofthe system described above, i.e. each switch in the circuitindirectly controls the output components via a dedicated relay.[15]

(c) Redesign your circuit incorporating non-contact sensing forpiston position detection using three-wire capacitive sensors.
