Title: Lab 5-4: Use a Limit Switch to Provide Automatic Reversing
Course: Electrical Motor Controls (Sandbox) > Section: Module 5: Reversing, 8 hr

Introduction

Now that you know how to build a typical reversing circuit, you will build a reversing circuit that works via a limit switch. The limit switch will make the reversing automatic.

Note: Automation Studio is not required for this lab.

The following video will walk you through the steps of building the circuit according to the schematic shown below.
