Conveyor Speed into 1769-IQ16

I am designing a concrete mixing plant and require about 6 different speed pulses to determine speed of the 6 conveyors.

The maximum speed is 3 revs per sec. Using a L33ER processor, can a standard 1769-IQ16 DI card handle 3 pulses per second for 6 different DIs ?

I will put the counting in a periodic task.

I'd rather not have to use HSC card if I can avoid it.
 
At those low speeds, no problem.

Because you're dealing with relatively slow pulses, you might want to measure time between pulses, rather than accumulate pulses over a fixed period of time.
