5. Setup and Wiring
Careful wiring is essential for proper and safe operation. Refer to the wiring diagrams below for connecting the module to your power source, motor, and control switches.
Terminal Descriptions:
- V+: Positive power input (10-15V DC)
- 0V (Power): Ground for power input
- M1, M2: Motor output terminals. Connect these to your motor.
- FWD: Forward control input. Connect to the forward switch.
- 0V (Control): Ground for control inputs.
- REV: Reverse control input. Connect to the reverse switch.
This image illustrates two common wiring configurations: one for a momentary-action (self-resetting) switch and another for an alternate-action (self-holding) switch. Both diagrams show connections to a 12V battery and a DC motor.
Wiring Instructions:
- Power Connection: Connect the positive terminal of your 10-15V DC power source (e.g., battery) to the V+ terminal on the module. Connect the negative terminal (ground) of your power source to the 0V (Power) terminal.
- Motor Connection: Connect the two wires of your DC motor to the M1 and M2 terminals. The polarity here will determine the initial direction when activated.
- Control Switch Connection (Momentary-action):
- Connect one side of the Forward Switch (FWD SW) to the FWD terminal. Connect the other side of the FWD SW to the positive power source (V+).
- Connect one side of the Reverse Switch (REV SW) to the REV terminal. Connect the other side of the REV SW to the positive power source (V+).
- Control Switch Connection (Alternate-action):
- Connect one side of the FWD switch to the FWD terminal. Connect the other side of the FWD switch to the positive power source (V+).
- Connect one side of the REV switch to the REV terminal. Connect the other side of the REV switch to the positive power source (V+).
- Ensure all connections are secure and insulated to prevent short circuits.
6. Operation
Once properly wired, the module controls the motor direction based on the activation of the FWD or REV control inputs.
- Forward Operation: When the FWD control input is activated (e.g., by pressing a momentary switch or toggling an alternate switch), the module will drive the motor in the forward direction. The red LED indicator on the module will illuminate.
- Reverse Operation: When the REV control input is activated, the module will drive the motor in the reverse direction. The green LED indicator on the module will illuminate.
- Stopping the Motor:
- For momentary-action switches, releasing the switch will stop the motor.
- For alternate-action switches, toggling the switch off will stop the motor.
- Simultaneous Activation: Avoid activating both FWD and REV inputs simultaneously, as this can lead to unpredictable behavior or damage to the module/motor.
7. Maintenance
- Cleaning: Keep the module clean and free from dust and debris. Use a soft, dry cloth for cleaning.
- Environment: Operate the module within its specified temperature and humidity ranges. Avoid exposure to moisture, extreme temperatures, or corrosive environments.
- Connections: Periodically check all wiring connections to ensure they remain secure. Loose connections can lead to intermittent operation or damage.
- Inspection: Inspect the module for any signs of physical damage or overheating.
8. Troubleshooting
- Motor Not Moving:
- Check if the power supply is connected correctly and providing 10-15V DC.
- Verify that the motor is properly connected to M1 and M2.
- Ensure the control switches are wired correctly and functioning.
- Check if the motor itself is operational.
- Incorrect Direction:
- If the motor moves in the opposite direction to the activated control input, reverse the connections of the motor wires to M1 and M2.
- LED Indicators Not Lighting:
- Ensure the module is receiving power.
- Check the control switch connections and functionality.
- Module Overheating:
- Ensure the motor current does not exceed the module's 10 Amp rating.
- Verify that the power supply voltage is within the 10-15V DC range.
