Input signals to MoVS

Parallel structure, one branch with a NO SCADA direction contact and a NO Remote contact, the other with a NO Manual direction contact and a NC Remote contact, and an output to drive the valve in the desired direction. Repeat on another rung with SCADA and Manual contacts for the opposite direction.

Do you have some sort of input from the valve feeding back OPEN or CLOSED?

xnuke , Thank for your response. Please provide a schematic if possible ?
itsmoked, yes but these are not important, I just need to trigger the MOVs without caring too much about the monitoring signals

itsmoked was pointing out that you will need commands on the rungs I described to shut off the output when the respective limits are reached, so yes, these are important. You may also need other interlocks to prevent trying to move the valve in opposite directions simultaneously. You didn't ask about such things, so I didn't post about them. Please try to sketch the logic yourself and post it. People will give you feedback. We give tips; we don't do the work for you.
