    Default industrial control signals

    Anybody have any clever ideas how to generate +-10V control signals? I need this to drive a motor controller.

    The glass is not half full or half empty, Its twice as big as needed for the job!

    Sorry for asking, but it is really +-10V? Normaly the industrial signals are 4-20mA or 0-10V

    Even so, if it is really -10V to +10V, i made the attached shematic and the simulation and it worked fine. Probably it can be improved, but since it's 1:30am, and it was made in 5min, i think its good.

    If you have 100% PWM you will get -10V, if you have 50% you will get 0V, and if you have 0%, you will get +10V

    If you want try it, and post the results.

    Wow cool, thanks gadelhas!! That is really simple, I will gather the op-amps and give it a whirl.
