DC motor reversal can be achieved by swapping the motor lead connections to the drive. If you'd like to incorporate a reversing switch or relay, it is highly recommended that you follow these steps. A wiring diagram of this operation can be found in the manual of most drives. Disconnect the motor from the drive. Place a brake resistor across the motor if you'd like the motor to stop faster than it would if you let it coast stop. Set the output of the drive to zero or activate the drive's output INHIBIT function. Once the motor has stopped, reconnect the motor leads to the drive in the desired polarity. Set the output of the desired speed or deactivate the drive's output INHIBIT function.
