Pneumatic logic controllers are useful in environments exposed to dust or moisture, because they operate using compressed air and not electrical currents. What are pneumatic logic controllers used for? They resemble mini 3-way and 4-way air valves, and perform specific actions such as on, off or pause in pneumatic actuators.Īt RS Components, our range of pneumatic air controllers includes products from leading brands, such as Crouzet, Festo, Norgren, Parker and SMC, with a variety of connection types and logic types available. Pneumatic logic controllers perform similar functions to relays, pneumatic timers switches and counters, but utilise compressed air as the controlling mediums instead of electrical currents. These actions can be performed by AND units, OR units, booster units and timers. Pneumatic logic controllers, also referred to as air logic controllers, are pneumatic systems used in the control of industrial processes to execute specific actions.
