if you can find a controoler than can handle go right ahead, but it won't be cheap.
are you sure it's DC not AC?

240V?! From where?!

What you will want to do is get a small power adaptor.

240V AC is the domestic supply voltage in some parts of the world.
the UK is 240V AC for example.

i suspect itsystem's motor will be from such a domestic appliance.

itsystem, more information if you want a definitive answer please.
what is the motor from?
what is written on it (if anything)?
