Hi all,
I've thrown myself in at the deep end with a university project and have hit a wall with my lack of experience in electronics.
I have a 24v dc reversible motor that I'm hoping to drive off two seperate outputs from a Zelio smart relay. I can get the motor to turn individually in both directions if I wire the Zelio outputs up one at a time(ie wire one up and leave one output disconnected).
However, if I wire them both up to the unit, it "reboots" itself and doesn't drive the motor at all.
I assume this is because I have the two sets of wires connected directly to the motor in order the "reverse" the polarity when needed, but I can't think of what to do to solve my problem.
I originally thought of having diodes?? inline with the wire befor I connect them to the motor, but I don't know if this is correct or would work.
I'd appreciate any help any of you could give. many thanks
Steve
