running a stepper motor with Micrologix 1000

[raman.bedi]

hi friends,
i am new to this forum. can anyone guide me how i can control a stepper motor using MICROLOGIX-1000.
is it possible?

You can't, becuase steppers require a pulse-train for control, and the ML1000 doesn't support a PTO (pule-train output). MicroLogix 1100, 1200 and 1500 all suport PTO.

The catalog number of the 1100, 1200, or 1500 must end with a BXB
