Introduction

Most of the reversing circuits you've built in Module 5 have had one thing in common: they used a forward button to energize the forward coil, and a reverse button to energize the reverse coil.

Now, you will design a circuit that uses one start button, one stop button, and one selector (maintained) switch to run a motor in forward or reverse.  

The following must be followed and/or included in your circuit:

Lab Instructions

  1. Unplug the Motor Controls trainer.
  2. Draw a schematic diagram, in Automation Studio or by hand, that represents a circuit that will operate as described above. Make sure your circuit works in simulation before moving on to the next step.
  3. Build the circuit on the Motor Controls trainer.
  4. Plug in and turn on the Motor Controls trainer.
  5. Test the circuit.
  6. Design, build, and demonstrate a circuit that uses one "Start" button, one "Stop" button, and one selector (maintained) switch to run a motor in forward or reverse.  

Submission

To complete this lab, submit a 30-second video following the criteria found in the rubric. If you are working with another student, each of you must record and submit your own video.
