"Robotic Arm controlled using PLC" help required!

Hey people, this is my first thread/post on this website and i have been following all the articles based on Robotic Arm.
My final year project is a Robotic Arm using PLC. As it is supposed that there are many limitations of PLCs in designing a control for a Robotic Arm,we still wanted to go ahead and do some R & D on the this topic and make it as successful as possible.
While structuring the arm wasnt the problem,the major concern is how to use PLC and what type of motors should we use.It is important to consider the specifications of the PLC and accordingly deciding upon the type of motor.Though we have put our heads to it,it would be an honor if engineers on this website would help on this project.
The arm is an Articulated Type,with three revolute joints.
The plc used is Allen Bradley Micrologix 1200
These are the required specifications of the motors

1.Torque- 10 to 20 kg/cm(square)
2.RPM - 10 - 25
