The program will control two air cylinders for a hangman prop . would like to run for 12 seconds in some kind of random movement of the two cylinders , this will be on a prop 1 control
the prop will be triggered by actor
or would like to use pir sensor

Give this a try; it will work with a PIR or a normally-open button connected between P6.W and P6.R.
