Hi all,
I have a motor that runs a pump that needs to be reversed periodically to clear out debris. Usually, to reverse the motor I switch the leads and its in reverse. However, this feature needs to be added as a button. I'm currently thinking I'll need two C/O relays and a button that switches them simultaneously. Is there a simpler (off the shelf) option I'm missing? Thanks for the help!

 

One relay will do with two sets of changeover contacts (Dpdt), ideally post your motor model number or wiring diagram.

 

You should go through a stop sequence first as you do not want to go from FWD to REV in one operation.
Telemecanique wiring diagrams

Thanks Dave, I got a Dpdt switch, and it did exactly what I needed it to.
