Contactors and switches.need help urgently

[Mickmack]

Hi, i have 3 contactors and a 4 way switch.
In position 1 of the switch i need contactor 1 to close.
In position 2 i need contactor 1 and 2 to close
In position 3 i need contactor 2 to close
And position 4 i need contactor 1 and 3 to close.

Can someone please make a drawing of how i can achieve this please with relays.

Use one relay per contactor.

Power the relays from the switch, eg. switch common to +DC and relay common to -DC / 0V of whatever supply the relays work on.
Connect the switch output contacts via diodes to the relay coils that need to operate in each switch position.


This is a more complex version but illustrates the principle - each switch position can feed any combination of relays as needed, via diodes in the appropriate locations.
(Called a "diode matrix" system).
