Revering and Ressetting Motor
(OP)
Need help with a project in which at the touch of a button have a motor turn forward until a certain point then reverse back to the original position then stopping and ressetting to start again at the command of the button. Have been informed that this is possible witht the use of PLCs, true? And if so can some one lead me in the right direction.

You will need an inexpensive PLC with a high-speed output.
It will generate pulse train for stepmotor or servomotor controller.
If you post more details about the application, I could suggest you system configuration.
The necessary details are at least:
- Estimated motor speed and power.
Also, how far a motor load will vary?
- Does the unit require settings?
If yes, you will need some human-to-machine interface (HMI).
- Is it a standalone unit or you want it on a network?
- Is it a budget project?
- Do you have any brand/model preferences for PLC/HMI and servo or stepper?

The doorbell will energize a little relay (assume the motor is just a real little fella). At the end of the stroke, the limit switch will close (or open depending on what relay or contactor you use) initiating the reversing action (reversing contactor coil energizing). What kind of motor do you have to turn on?
