This is wrong. With this you could definitely do this. You can program the limit switch to change the single solenoid to its stopped state and stop the cyclinder. Yes, this would work. Any questions about set-up of the pneumatic parts refer to my diagram or ask me. The pistons will stop if you do it right, thus multi-positioning.
