There are 2 1000Watt 3-phase asynchronous motors in a Walnut Cracking machine (it is desirable to operate the motors in a way that they remain in star connection). When the "Start" button is pressed, the 1st engine will start immediately, 3 seconds after the 1st engine starts, the 2nd engine will also start. After the two engines work together for 4 seconds, the 1st engine will stop, the 2nd engine will start and stop for another 10 seconds. If the "Stop" button is pressed at any stage of the operations, the motors will stop. The rotation directions of the motors are required to be opposite to each other. Draw the necessary power and control circuit.
