Latching Relay Circuit With Reset Button
There are two kinds of latching relays.
Latching relay circuit with reset button. The realy circuit must hold the signal until it resets by using an acknowledge reset button. It is merely a relay driven circuit. The input voltage latches them in position so they don t require a constant voltage to stay switched. An external reset switch interrupts power to the relay which turns it off.
Here i demonstrate a circuit which is a simple asynchronous sr latch using a relay. Use them to control motors pumps and lighting. I have an automotive application where i would need a 12v relay circuit that can be toggled with single button between on off. The relay will continue to be in on state even after the force is removed from the blue button until and unless the reset button is pressed or reset signal is provided to the module.
Reset button this switch is red colored and it is used to turn the relay back to off position. These relays switch through a series of different circuit configurations every time they receive an input voltage. Also in same time relay has to activate a hooter which is powered by 230v ac. When the push to make button is pressed 12v goes across the coil energising the relay.
Simple soft power latching circuit for a microcontroller. The diagram above shows how such a relay can be used to make a latching relay circuit the circuit has two buttons one is a push to make which closes when pressed but is otherwise open and the other is a push to break which opens when pressed but is otherwise closed. Plc send a one shot pulse to activate the relay. An external switch initially turns the relay on then it is kept on by its own contact.
But it should reset itself back to when input voltage drops to zero. And provide a acknowledge reset button to stop the hooter. This is achieved when an electromagnetic current generated by the electrical input from the first device attached to the relay causes the contacts in the switch to open or close. I found promising looking one button two relay circuit.
A latching relay will. Mount to 35 mm din rail.
