OR valve and series connection in Pneumatic Circuit

An OR valve in a pneumatic circuit allows for alternate paths for air flow, meaning that either one of two inputs can activate an output. When using an OR valve in a circuit, air can flow through one of the two inputs, and the valve will direct the air to a common output.

In a series connection of components, the devices (like limit switches) are connected end-to-end, meaning all components must be activated in sequence for the circuit to function.

In combination, an OR valve in a series connection setup allows for flexible operation, where multiple conditions or actions can trigger a response in the circuit, providing more control options while ensuring that the system only operates when all conditions are met in sequence.
