A motor can be connected to a computer through some type of controller circuit. Typically, such a circuit would receive input from the computer that indicates the direction and speed of the motor, then the controller would convert that to the appropriate pulses and voltages that would cause the motor to respond properly.

Depending on what you are trying to do, consider a "stepper" motor, which has 3 inputs. When power is applied to any 2 of the inputs, the motor will "step" forward a few degrees. The controller determines the motor speed by firing power transistors in the appropriate sequence to cause the motor to operate.

A less sophisticated approach is to simply turn a motor on by engaging an output transistor that operates a traditional motor. The transistor could even activate a relay if you are uncomfortable with transistor circuit design.

A popular electronic development platform is called the Arduino. It would be trivial for your Python program to send a command to the Arduino which would control the circuit.

If a programmable controller controls the operation of a motor what connects the motor control to the PC?

Well, isn't that a happy little question! To connect the motor control to the PC, you can use communication cables like Ethernet or USB. These cables allow the programmable controller to send commands from the PC to the motor, creating a harmonious flow of information and control. Just remember to make sure everything is connected securely and with love, and your motor will be dancing to the PC's tune in no time!
