My suggestion to Enrico was to pull the driver transistors that switch 
between the +24 and the motor windings.  If his case is usual there are 
three of these (often Darlingtons).   If the board still smokes when 
power is applied, you know that the fault does not lie in the motor nor 
in the driver transistors.

I received no response, FWIW.
