Can we set the Fisher Price motor for a relay? I guess like a on/off switch?

Can you set it on a relay? No. You need to use a speed controller.

I imagine your programming people can program it to be on off, and not variable speed though.

Can you cite your source? I was thinking the same thing, but when I looked through the rules, I couldn't find anything prohibiting it.

However, yes, it would probably be best to put it on a speed controller and have software take care of it.

<R87> CIM motors and Fisher-Price motors must be connected to Speed Controllers. They may not be
connected to Relay Modules.

That basically means you can run anything else on a relay, like a globe, window, vandoor, compressor, etc. It seems as though there is a conflict between the rules and the electrical diagram. Any thoughts?

The rule trumps the diagram.
