24VDC 0,570 Amp pump controller

Click For Summary

Discussion Overview

The discussion revolves around the need to control a 24VDC 0.570 Amp pump using a potentiometer and a PWM controller. Participants explore options for suitable controllers and resources for learning about PWM technology.

Discussion Character

  • Exploratory
  • Technical explanation
  • Homework-related

Main Points Raised

  • Jerre expresses a lack of electronics background and seeks guidance on building a circuit to control a pump using a potentiometer and PWM controller.
  • Dave suggests a specific PWM motor speed control controller available for purchase, indicating it may meet Jerre's needs.
  • Jerre acknowledges Dave's suggestion and expresses intent to learn how the proposed controller works.
  • Another participant recommends educational hobby kits for learning about PWM, providing a link to a kit that includes a training video.

Areas of Agreement / Disagreement

Participants generally agree on the need for a PWM controller, but there are no settled conclusions on the best approach or specific components to use, as Jerre is still exploring options.

Contextual Notes

Jerre's limited electronics background may affect the understanding of technical details, and the discussion does not resolve the specifics of which PWM controller would be most suitable.

Who May Find This Useful

Individuals interested in electronics, particularly those looking to control DC motors or pumps, as well as beginners seeking resources for learning about PWM technology.

Hi,So let's start with this, I don't have a lot of electronics circuits background and not really an idea on how to build an electronic circuit.
Ok, now the problem, at my job I am in need of controlling a 24VDC 0,570 Amp pump with a pot, preferably one with a "preset" in it so that the values can easily be recreated. But given my very limited electronics background, I have no idea how to start with this, not even a clue on how to start searching for the needed items. I know by some research that I will be in need of a PWM controller, but again, no clue on how I would have to choose one.
Any help is welcome and extra information can be provided if it is needed.

Thanks in advance to anyone who is willing to help!Kind regards,

Jerre
