Figure (a) illustrates the driver module in its active state with the relay energized (latched) and the LED status indicator turned on while the push-button is pressed, completing the circuit to power the DC motor. Figure (b) depicts the circuit in its default idle state (relay de-energized) with no input applied to the button.
