Stepper motor pulse width

A

I want to send pulse of 10ms from PLC to my stepper driver. Is it possible to drive the stepper by using this range of pulse? Does the driver accept this range of pulse?

10 msec. is plenty long enough for any stepper translator module. When you say "stepper driver" do you mean a stepper translator, which accepts step pulses and direction input and translates them into the actual A and B phases for the motor? On the other hand, if your stepper driver is just an amplifier, then your PLC needs to provide a sequence of A and B states to the driver and not just a pulse.
