Considering the control BOX , you don't need it.
I think we are still amateurs and can build a PS
normally modern motors are connected with 5 or 6 wires depending on the brand, older motors with a brake had more
but in my opinion a brake is a very bad thing, I prefere that my antennas turn around due high wind and are misaligned then that my tower twist because the brake didn't allow turning the Antenna.
2 or 3 wires are for the motor probably +/- 24V
3 wires are for the potmeter inside the motor connect the outer wires to a 12VDC power supply (or make it from the 24Volt) When turning the motor the voltage on the center from the potmeter will be varying up or down (CW or CCW)
this is what you need for any interface.
