I have to buy a motor to control a small prototype unit. I have only a little experience of electrics, which I forgot twenty years ago. I think I have found a motor from a company called Lenze that will do the job. My question is a general one around controlling a motor. What is needed? The motor is an asynchronous servo motor of about 1KW. I need the motor to be controllable with regards to speed. I also would like to know what speed it is doing while working(On a digital readout). Would anyone be able to guide me in a right direction to sourcing all the equipment I would need? Even changing the supplier would be ok. I think I need a PLC, a readout unit?, a power source to convert the mains or is there an "all in one unit" available. I'm not wanting to spend a great deal of money, things being tight at the moment.
Thanks tin advance.
