do you think i need a voltage regulator because the measured voltage is 28v DC and it sometimes are lower and higher.
When you said originally that you had 24V available I took you at your word :). In the circumstances it would be better to use a regulator. I would suggest a LM317L. I'll redraw the circuit to include one and show the CD40106 pin-out.
 
sorry my bad, ti was written on the transformer 24V but i measured 28V an ti was not completely stable

thank you again

But a transformer works on AC. So is that 24V AC ?
However, do you need to use the transformer? The Mitsubishi controller has a 24V output terminal (PC) which is specified as able to supply up to 100mA (much more than my circuit design would draw).
Attached is the revised design and parts list.

it have a rectifier included but i also have a 12 volt transformer DC if the circuit have a voltage regulator on 5V i can choose between the power sources right?

However, the digi-pot output impedance (10k) is probably too high to provide the speed control voltage drive directly, which is why I have included the LM324 buffer stage in the design. To enable the full 5V drive range to be achieved the buffer stage needs a higher supply voltage than 5V; hence the 9V regulator in the revised design.
You seem reluctant to use the existing 24V Mitsu controller supply :confused:
 
Yes, the Mitsu frequency converter provides the +5V (Va) and ground (Vb) for the digi-pot. As I said, "The Mitsu controller has a regulated 5V source already, which I assume can be used to drive the timing circuit." It also supplies the digi-pot part.
The digi-pot is 10k (50k or 100k versions are also listed), but the frequency converter is designed to work with a 1k pot and has an input impedance of only 10k. That is why the buffer opamp is suggested, to provide a low-impedance drive (Vw) from the digi-pot wiper.
