DC Motor Reversing Circuits: Timer or Remote Control

Do you need to reverse the direction of a DC motor automatically using a timer or manually using UHF Remote Control? Here you will find some quick and easy solution to your needs.

Automatic Timed Direction Switching

If you want a motor to automatically switch direction every few seconds to every few hours we have a few relay boards that will do this for you. You simply wire the relays as shown in the diagram below.

Here are some boards that can be used for this set-up. Please check the individual product page for maximum relay voltage and current ratings.

• 2-Channel SEQUENTIAL Relay Timer Module, 1-180 second (CI0027)
• 2-Channel SEQUENTIAL Relay Timer Module, 2-45 Minute (CI0028)

Remote Control (UHF/IR) Direction Switching

 If you would like to manually switch the motor direction you can use one of our 2 channel remote control relay boards. The 3157 also includes Reset Inputs so you can incorporate limit switches to prevent motor overrun. You simply wire the relays as shown in the diagram below.
