I am looking for a DC motor speed controller and need some help with my search (I am having problems coming up with the proper search terms that yield useful results). Here are my requirements:
I need to control the speed of an 1/60 HP 24VDC motor. I have 13VDC available (auto battery) but only need to turn the motor less than half speed. I would like to control the speed from a computer (using either RS-232, RS-485, or Ethernet). I can find D/A modules that produce a low current DC voltage or PWM if that would be helpful as an input for a DC motor speed controller.
I would rather find something I can purchase off-the-shelf because I don't have extra time available to devote to building/programming/testing my own controller.
Any suggestions on where to look or how to specify such a controller?
Thanks,
Dale
