Can i control 5 phase plc

[Guest common]

I want to control a 5 phase stepper motor with 0.72 deg/step with a omron cpm2a plc. We know that the pulse output from the CPM2a is single phase. So, is this PLC can use to control the 5 phase stepper motor????

You are trying to make a relationship to the PLC phrase "single phase pulse output" with the stepper motor phrase "five phase stepper motor."  They are two different concepts.   This is the general layout: PLC single phase output > stepper motor amplifer > five phase motor The PLC (CPM2A) generates a single line pulse output which is fed into the input of the stepper motor amplifier.  The stepper motor amplifer generates a five phase output which drives the five phase stepper motor.  You might want to think of the amplifier as a single phase to five phase convertor.
