viscoelastic Posted December 26, 2019 Report Share Posted December 26, 2019 Would I be correct in saying that I could run a stepper on a HSO and long as I am within frequency range or do I have to have a EXF-RC15E with PTO? Thanksa Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MVP 2021 Joe Tauser Posted December 27, 2019 MVP 2021 Report Share Posted December 27, 2019 Yes on running a stepper from an HSO. I've done it more than once and the Step Control tab on the hardware configuration makes it relatively easy. With that said you need to pick a PLC or Snap I/O module that has NPN outputs. Even though the models with PNP outputs claim HSO mode, they top out at 500 Hz and this is horribly slow for a stepper that typically has a minimum resolution of 200 steps / rev.
