Hi everyone,
I am trying to test the life of a linear actuator by having it automatically change up/down direction between two limit switches. The issue that is bothering me is that there are 4 wires, power, ground, up and down. I am not sure how to interlock these switches for the automatic 'oscillation' I am looking for. I emailed the company that sent us the actuator, and was told it operates at 29VDC and 5A.
I'm not sure if it makes a difference, but the actuator has internal limit switches controlled by two momentary switches for up/down movement when held down.
I've throught about using an arduino uno to control the input based on time, but I'm not sure how to deal with the high voltage of the actuator.
Thanks in advance for your help!
