The request

“24 V DC motor start/stop control: a normally closed overload contact and a stop button in series, a start button that energises relay K1, an auxiliary K1 contact that latches it in, a main K1 contact that runs the motor, and a diode across the coil.”

What is in this drawing

Read the decisions behind it.

01

Use a holding contact (K1_AUX) in parallel with the start button to latch the relay.

02

Place a normally closed overload contact (S_OL_NC) in series with the control circuit to stop on overload.

03

Include a flyback diode (D1) across the relay coil to suppress voltage spikes.

When designing motor control circuits in industrial panels, PLC-free relay logic, or teaching basic latching circuits.
