## Introduction

Now that you know how to stop a motor coil from being energized by pressing a button, you will build a coil that energizes the motor coil when you press and then release the "Start" button, and will remain energized until the "Stop" button is pressed or the overloads are tripped.

The following video will walk you through the steps of building the circuit according to the schematic shown below. Note: A demo of how to build this circuit in Automation Studio, including how to connect the auxiliary contact to the coil, is on the next page of this course.

## Lab Instructions

- Watch the video introduction to this lab.
- Draw a schematic diagram, in Automation Studio or by hand, that represents a circuit that will operate as described in the video.
- Unplug the Motor Controls trainer.
- Build the circuit on the Motor Controls trainer.
- Plug in and turn on the Motor Controls trainer.
- Test the circuit.
- The motor coil is energized when a user presses and then releases the "Start" button. It remains energized until the "Stop" button is pressed or the overloads are tripped.
