Abstract
Provided is a pneumatic actuator control device including detectors that are disposed in an air supply passage leading from an air supply source to a solenoid valve or in an air exhaust passage leading from the solenoid valve, and that detect the flow volume or the pressure of the air in the air supply passage, or detect the flow volume or the pressure of the air in the air exhaust passage; and an operational state determination unit that, on the basis of data representing a change in the flow volume or the pressure of the air in the air supply passage, or in the flow volume or the pressure of the air in the air exhaust passage, as detected by the detectors, determines the operational state of a pneumatic actuator connected to the solenoid valve.
Claims12
A pneumatic actuator controller, comprising:
- a detector which is arranged in an air supply path from an air supply source to a solenoid valve or an air exhaust path from the solenoid valve and which detects a flow rate or pressure of air in the air supply path or a flow rate or pressure of air in the air exhaust path, and
- an operation state judgment unit configured to judge an operation state of a pneumatic actuator connected to the solenoid valve based on data indicating change in the flow rate or pressure of air in the air supply path or the flow rate or pressure of the air in the air exhaust path detected by the detector.
