4-2 Machine side detector
In MDS-R series, the relative position specifications and oblong wave output linear scale are available.
The machine side detectors are all special order parts, and must be prepared by the user.
Relative position detector
Select a machine side relative position detector that has specifications that are correspond to the
following output signal.
Compatible oblong wave output specifications
Select a relative position detector with an A/B phase difference and Z-phase width at the maximum
feedrate that satisfies the following conditions.
Use an A, B, Z-phase signal type with differential output (RS-422 standard product) for the output
signal.

For a scale having multiple Z phases, select the neighboring Z
phases whose distance is an integral mm.

A, B, Z-phase
(Note)
The above value is minimum value that can be received normally in the servo drive unit side.
In an actual selection, ensure margin of 20% or more in consideration of degradation of electrical wave and
speed overshoot.
