Each stepper motor would still be 4 wire but the driver would run off the plc vs the micro controller and utilize the +step commands.
With plc it makes it easier to add that conveyor belt, robotic arm, piston ect and if purchased used the plc can sell for less than some boards while being more versatile with modifications.

Call me stupid, but I don't know what a hmi is.
From the context I understood, Plc is some kind of ( widely known? ) controller, stupid but overpriced.
You want to build a closed loop stepper control with it.
Can you control 4 ( or more ) steppers at once to stay synchronized with one Plc?
BTW: When you send the next command line after the last one was successfully, your device will stutter. A line buffer inside the microcontroller is neccessary to plan ahead. That's where the closed loop algorhythm should be implemented, not some external device.
