    Abstract: A pneumatic manifold with internal and external porting is machined in a specific sequence for pressurized and exhausting air control. Electro-pneumatic valves and or blocking plates are fastened and sealed to the positions of exterior porting. The electro-pneumatic valves complete the pneumatic circuit already machined in the manifold. Electro-pneumatic valves can be added or removed depending on the required functions. Other exterior ports on the manifold allow for but are not limited to connection of a pressure transducer, exterior pilot feeds, individual open/close speed controls, individual secondary slow down speed controls for open and close. The manifold allows the mounting of three electro-pneumatic valves wherein each valve controls a certain specific sequential function. When used with a compatible means of electronic control, the manifold can replace most pneumatic control devices driving a pneumatic actuator for the purpose of moving an access mechanism, such as a garage door.
