hi,
i am building an automated drilling machine for my project. i need to use PLC to control all the sensor and the motor. i am using a nais PLC, FP0-C14CRSthe software is FPWIN GR. my qtns are, can i control my stepper motor two phase bipolar the model is( escapa, p430 258 005 01) with the PLC? what kind of driver should i use to control the motor?(L297/l298).

Re: can someone help me

Here's a site I found helpfull in while in college: **broken link removed**, but that was for a class project using a microcontroller to make a PIR sensor, mounted on the stepper motor, follow a heat source (it freaked out the cleaning ladies one night when we forgot to turn it off). Wouldn't know how to translate that to PLC, sorry, but you can get the principles from that site.
