Agree fully with Tim, being a licensed master electrician (retired but now an inspector) I don’t rely on wiring diagrams but rather have full knowledge of the equipment on hand or secure the equipment for the given task and know what I’m doing, some things are best left to professionals or there’s always the smoke test for everyone else.

What kind of motor are you using? In general terms a speed control includes a transformer to drop your house voltage to run the motor. Legacy then used a limit switch to break the connection to the motor. They added an override switch to close the limit switch connection so you can back off the limit switch. A dpst switch is used to control the direction of the motor. It simply swaps the leads to the motor to change the direction. Of course this only works on DC motors. More general conversation about various speed controls. More advanced speed controllers use relays to change the motor directions and they have limit switch inputs to stop the motor. These are much safer than the simple method that legacy used. For our simple application, simple is not bad. Finally, if you are not sure how you need to wire your motor, please seek the advice of a professional. That is what help I can offer you at the moment. -TIM Sent from BlueMail <http://www.bluemail.me/r?b=10066> On Jul 20, 2017, at 12:23 AM, Richard Ellis <rchrd.ell...@gmail.com> wrote: Hi All I have now got a motor for my Revo, Leadscrew---- but am a bit stuck for a wiring diagram, I assume they are the same for other Legacy non CNC models. If any one has one that shows the control box and limit switches etc. Can you post it on here or email me Thanks Richard -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Legacy Ornamental Mills" group.
