Motor Controls: Sequenced Start Stop - Part 1

#accesstopower #motorcontrols #startstop https://accesstopower.com In this episode of AccessToPower we will show one, probably the most common, method of Sequencing the start-stop function of Motor controls. This style of motor control is used in many applications. It allows Motors to be started and stopped in a particular order.

In this example, we wire 3 motors to start in sequence from motor 1 to motor 3. The requirements for this circuit are as follows. 1: Each motor must be started in order from 1 to 3. 2: When motor 1 is stopped, motors 2 and 3 must also stop. 3: When motor 2 is stopped, motor 3 will stop, but motor 1 will continue to run. 4: When the estop is pushed, all the motors will stop.

There is more than one way to accomplish what we are describing here, and this will be a 3 part series on several different methods of wiring sequenced start-stop circuits.

The simulation software I use in these tutorials is called "Constructor" and a trial can be downloaded from https://www.cmhsoftware.com/download.html ... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Vpecxf6mWgE
