    Hi:

    I posted this with more detail now, regarding the TI RDK-BDC24 motor controller. It has a variety of input/output types (analog PWM, CAN, RS-232). It has both analog and digital inputs for the feedback loop and a fully flexible PID controller. It is a fully self contained controller with a powerful microprocessor.

    I am too new to know if it can be used...

    I have attached the protocol document. See section 4.5...

    Note that this is the CAN guide, I'd use the RS-232 mode, with same commands.

    It certainly can control a motor in many ways, just not enough experience on my end to know how/if it can interfaced and be controlled by X-Sim...

    Help would be greatly appreciated...thanks in advance!

    More specifically? All the help is in the user guide, the USO is pretty easy to setup after you get familiar with the controller.
