Two wires from battery connect via 1/4" spade connectors and 10 AWG wire. Two wires to DC motor again connected with two 1/4" spade connectors. IF you use the potentiometer that is on the board, that's it. When the potentiometer is in the centralized potion, the motor is off. Pot is non linear so lots of control at low speed. If you want to control through a PLC, all you have to do is cut the leads from the pot and have the PLC send a 0-5vdc signal. 0v is full one way, 2.5V is off and 5vdc is full the opposite direction. That is it.
