I have DC glentek motor about 2.6 KW
and I need explanation how to connect it to a control board

Thats around a 3.5hp motor.
Do you just just need a positioning device? Stand alone or PC, Operator interface?
What is the application?

thank you for replay
I have a big mill that I would like to put a motor
in the place of the handle
I does not wants to put computer
i just need stand alone device for run it positionning
and I need also the option to move fast like start and stop

Without using a PC, I would use a single axis stand-alone Galil controller, the legacy models can be had relatively cheap, especially for 1 axis.
You would need a Jog Joystick, a pulse handwheel and a selector switch.
Also a Drive amplifier and DC power supply suitable sized, this may be hard to come by in the surplus market, something like A-M-C put out.
