When using a Festo valve on a cylinder you can do a double acting cylinder super easy. solenoid on or solenoid off.

Question:

when using the SMC valves how do I do a single acting and a double acting cylinder arrangement ?

the documentation says you can 'pulse' the solenoid to make it actuate. Okay, so how do you de-actuate it ?

on a double deal, if you pulse both coils then both ends of the cylinder are connected to the hp air and the piston finds its 'home'. how do you de-actuate this ?

It is the pulsing that I don't understand. If it is pulse to open, what to close ?
