Can you use an Arduino with an industrial motor?

Can you use a common Arduino to run a large industrial motor? The technical answer: yes.

If you connected the Arduino to the proper motor controller, you could certainly power a motor of any size, assuming you understood how to power both the Arduino and the motor.

The issue is, however, Arduino’s are not compliant, fast enough or run on the right power to be actually included in a secure industrial system. So the real answer – start learning about control systems and put those Arduino’s away for now.
