Both the logic and the physical control of pneumatic devices are possible, the I/O has to be conditioned of course, by means of devices such as SSR's etc.
A knowledge of Boolean and flow chart description helps.

i am trying to build a machine for manufacturing.
I used to do a bit on automation using pneumatic, control using the physical hardware.
But now i need the pneumatics to be control using software, microchip PIC.
Example controlling the strokes of the pneumatic actuators.
thank you

Have you looked at using a PLC or a SMART Relay? Or are you going PIC because of economics?
Adding in the time and the necessary real-world interfacing, these options may work out comparable.
