Hi everyone,
I am trying to control pneumatic cylinder valves using a push button switch. The cylider has limit switches on both ends of stroke. On pressing the push button, the cylinder has to extend and on signal from end limit change over to reversed solenoid so as to return to original position (where first limit switch gets pressed). As the strting and end conditions are same, pressing push button often results in multiple strokes. I am thinking of using an electronic latch using 4027 JK Flip Flop. But reading through the data sheet, I cannot figure out how (and why) the clock to be used. Can I use this JK Flip Flop without clock input?
By the way, I have tried RS latch with two NOR gates, but cannot avoid 1,1 input status that is not allowed.
Thanks.
