Hi, I looking for simple schematic to operate a solenoid valve.
I have seen pretty much what I need used on a muffler tubing bender I repaired about a decade ago, it was done with a couple transistors and diodes but my memory is not that good to remember the perticulars
valve is 12vdc solenoids 5 amp max current. one coil forward, one coil reverse.
I want to push a switch and have the system cycle full ahead to limit switch then reverse and stop at another limit switch at home position
I would also llike to have a safety switch in the circuit. eg panic button that when pushed would stop and reverse the curcut, I guess just wired in parallel with the limit switch at full extension would do .
Relays or solid state(transistor) either way works for me. The whole circuit is fed 12v DC and controlling 12v dc.
