“Draw a fused 24 V control circuit for a reversible hydraulic motor with forward and reverse pushbuttons, relay coils, and forward and reverse solenoids on a 4/3 directional valve.”
Read the decisions behind it.
Separate forward and reverse commands energize separate valve solenoids.
The operator station is supplied at 24 V DC.
Valve solenoids identify the commanded rotation direction.
Use for a motor-driven conveyor, winch, or rotary fixture where the electrical controls need a clear directional reference.

Common questions
How does a hydraulic motor reverse?
A directional valve reverses the fluid path through the motor, changing its rotation direction.
Why label both valve solenoids?
The labels show which coil produces each commanded direction and reduce wiring mistakes.
What should be added for a production machine?
Add safety interlocks, stopping logic, pressure protection, and the hydraulic power and return circuit.
