How many pulses will your analog proximity receive in relation to the rotation of the shart? Is it 1 pulse per step? You could feed the pulse back in the PLC's high speed counter to monitor the stepper motor actual rotation. So the PLC both generates the stepper pulses and monitor the encoder feedback.
50 steps in 60-100 milliseconds translate to 833 pulses or less per seconds. That is well within the PLC's capability to handle both pulse generation and encoder feedback.
