Chapter 2 Drive System Configuration
2–7
(3) Absolute system 2 (System using linear scale AT342)
The linear scale and servo drive unit can be connected directly and used without the scale I/F unit
(MDS-B-HR) or pole detection unit (MDS-B-MD). Note that the position and speed resolution will be
limited to 0.5µm, so to further improve the controllability, use of the system shown in (4) is
recommended.
CAUTION
In a system that does not use the MDS-B-HR unit (scale I/F unit), use the
motor thermal signal for the CNC unit's general-purpose input port, and detect
the motor overheating.

(4) Absolute system 3 (System using linear scale AT342 special + MDS-B-HR-21)
By using the scale I/F unit (MDS-B-HR), the resolution of the position and speed used for servo
control can be improved, thereby improving the servo's controllability.
