The request
“Draw a 24 V electro-pneumatic control circuit with an E-stop, extend and retract pushbuttons, and two 5/2 valve solenoid coils for a double-acting cylinder.”
Then tryAdd limit switches for both cylinder positions.Change the supply to 12 VDC.
What is in this drawing
Read the decisions behind it.
01Supply
Use a protected 24 VDC control supply.
02Stop circuit
Put the E-stop ahead of both commands.
03Valve coils
Use one coil for extend and one for retract.
Use for a simple manually controlled double-acting pneumatic actuator.

FAQ
Common questions
What valve controls a double-acting cylinder?
A 5/2 directional valve is a common choice because it alternates pressure and exhaust between the two cylinder ports.
Why use two solenoid coils?
One coil commands extension and the other commands retraction on a double-solenoid valve.
What voltage is common for pneumatic controls?
24 VDC is widely used for industrial control circuits, although the valve coil rating must match the installed supply.
