1. An electronic control module comprising: an input device; anda processor coupled to said input device, said processor configured to: generate a command signal in response to an input supplied by said input device; andtransmit the command signal to a plurality of motors, wherein the command signal controls a speed and a rotation direction of each of the plurality of motors. 2. An electronic control module in accordance with claim 1, wherein said input device comprises a range switch, a speed switch, and a rotation switch. 3. An electronic control module in accordance with claim 2, wherein said range switch is controlled using an analog control input. 4. An electronic control module in accordance with claim 2, wherein said speed switch comprises a hexadecimal switch. 5. An electronic control module in accordance with claim 1, wherein the command signal includes at least one high-voltage pulse. 6. An electronic control module in accordance with claim 1, further comprising an indicator configured to indicate whether the command signal is being transmitted to the plurality of motors. 7. An electronic control module in accordance with claim 1, wherein said electronic control module is configured to provide a line voltage to the plurality of motors. 8. A motor control system comprising: a plurality of motors; andan electronic control module coupled to said plurality of motors, said electronic control module comprising: an input device; anda processor coupled to said input device, said processor configured to: generate a command signal in response to an input supplied by said input device; andtransmit the command signal to said plurality of motors, wherein the command signal controls a speed and a rotation direction of each of said plurality of motors. 9. A motor control system in accordance with claim 8, wherein each of said plurality of motors is coupled to said electronic control module through a first lead, a second lead, and a third lead. 10. A motor control system in accordance with claim 9, wherein said first and second leads are configured to receive a line voltage, and said third lead is configured to receive the command signal. 11. A motor control system in accordance with claim 8, wherein each of said plurality of motors is configured to: receive the command signal;determine the speed and the rotation direction that corresponds to the command and signal; andoperate at the determined speed and the rotation direction. 12. A motor control system in accordance with claim 11, wherein each of said plurality of motors comprises a look-up table that includes a plurality of predetermined operating points and a predetermined command signal associated with each of the plurality of predetermined operating points, each of said plurality of motors configured to use said look-up table to determine the operating point that corresponds to the command signal, wherein each of the plurality of predetermined operating points includes a predetermined speed and a predetermined rotation direction. 13. A motor control system in accordance with claim 8, wherein said input device comprises a range switch, a speed switch, and a rotation switch. 14. A motor control system in accordance with claim 8, wherein the command signal includes at least one high-voltage pulse. 15. A method for controlling a plurality of motors, said method comprising: receiving an input at an electronic control module;generating, using the electronic control module, a command signal in response to the input;transmitting the command signal to a plurality of motors coupled to the electronic control module;determining, from the command signal, a corresponding operating point for each motor, wherein the corresponding operating point includes a speed and a rotation direction; andoperating each of the plurality of motors at the respective operating point. 16. A method in accordance with claim 15, wherein receiving an input comprises receiving an input from at least one of a range switch, a speed switch, and a rotation switch. 17. A method in accordance with claim 15, wherein transmitting a command signal comprises transmitting at least one high-voltage pulse to the plurality of motors. 18. A method in accordance with claim 15, wherein determining a corresponding operating point comprises determining a corresponding operating point using a look-up table stored on each of the plurality of motors, the look-up table including a plurality of predetermined operating points and a predetermined command signal associated with each of the plurality of predetermined operating points. 19. A method in accordance with claim 15, further comprising activating an indicator on the electronic control module when the command signal is transmitted to the plurality of motors.
