Hi,
I want to buy a motor to connect to a PLC to drive a small conveyor or similar. This is not a commercial thing, its just a pet project for me to learn a bit more about this with PLCs.
I plan to use an S7-1200 PLC but I don't want to spend £100s on a motor - I am looking at a small (in physical size) motor to use, but for slow moving items I doubt I want a 5000RPM motor or similar.
Can anyone suggest a motor which could be used? I guess its more like a motor for hobbytronics - the kind you would find in a small PLC simulator at a PLC training centre or similar.
thanks
