How to wire 2 micro switches to automatically turn off a reversible dc motor

<< < (2/2)

DaOld Man:
You can place a microswitch that makes when the monitor has reached its travel limit. (Limit switches)
You will need two switches, one for vertical and one for horizontal.
Place the switch in the line going to the NO contact on the switches you have already using.
use the NC and Comm contacts on the limit switches.

Using your original png file, see where I have broken the wires. Insert the limit switches in these two places.

(sorry for the bad pic.)

loonytu:
thxs I will try that your pic never showed for me just a x in black box

DaOld Man:
Yeah, its a cheesy pic.
Just connect the limit switches where the X's are.
Common and NC.
When the limit switch is made (or actuated), the NC contact opens, shutting off the power to the motor in that direction only.
I can draw you a better pic if you need it.

DaOld Man:
Sorry about the late reply. See if this pic shows, and If you understand it.


Edit: Both limit switches need to be on N.O. contact of each associated pushbutton switch.
