Retract Process
If the PLC determines the conditions are right to retract the Router:
1. The Control Valve directs compressed air to the retract port of the Cylinder.
2.
The Cylinder and Router retract deactivating the Extend Sensor
3.
When the Cylinder and Router are fully retracted, the Retract Sensor is activated.
4. The PLC senses the voltage from the Retract Sensor completing the process
