4.4 Wiring the Power Unit
Power Unit
The power unit (for example a simple contactor combination) is connected to the
digital outputs of the FM 351 and controls the motor.
Contactor Circuit
Figure 4-3 shows the control and load current circuits of a power unit.
The functions of the digital outputs correspond to control mode 1
(see Section 8.3, page 8-6).

How the Contactor Circuit Works
Contactors K1 and K2 control the direction of the motor. The contactors are
interlocked by the normally closed contacts K2 and K1. The hardware limit
switches E1 and E2 are the limit switches minus/plus. If the axis travels beyond
these limit switches, the motor (direction) is turned off.
The contactors K3 and K4 switch the motor from rapid to creep speed. The
contactors are interlocked by the normally closed contacts K4 and K3.
