2.1.1

System Parameters

The Linear Scale ABS ST700/ST700L (Compact) Series is designed to be used with the systemparameters (scale-specific parameters) written into the Detector. If the system parameter values areincorrect, therefore, the unit cannot fully achieve the predetermined performance.
Normally, a scale is supplied in a pair with a Detector into which the system parameters are alreadywritten, so using this factory-shipped pair does not cause any problems. However, if the Detector fails
or another Detector is added later (such as when adding two or more Detectors later to one scale),
you need to write the system parameters of the target scale into the Detector(s).
• For the following conditions, contact the nearest Mitutoyo office/service center:- When the Detector currently used is malfunctioning- When a Detector needs to be in stock as a backup for failure- When a Detector is added later• If the scale currently used is damaged, you need to replace both the scale and the Detector.

2.1.2

Compatibility between the Scale Base and the Detector

There is no scale base compatibility between the ABS ST700 (Compact) Series and the ABS ST700L(Compact) Series because each uses a dedicated Detector.

Installation Conditions

2.2.1

Dust and Water Protection

The ABS ST700/ST700L (Compact) Series uses a sensor that is not affected by cutting fluid or dust,
but it is not designed to keep dust from entering between the Detector and the scale base, so the
product has no IP (International Protection) code.
A little amount of cutting fluid or dust attached on the scale does not restrict the functions, but thescale should not be exposed to the above environment as much as possible because a serious malfunction may occur if iron dust enters the inside.
Please also note that the detection part of the scale pattern or Detector may be damaged if you scan
the unit when there is an about 0.4 mm-thick foreign object in a gap between the Detector and thescale base.

It is recommended to put a cover on the scale base and the Detector to prevent water, oil, and dust.

2.2.2

Magnetism

The Linear Scale ABS ST700/ST700L (Compact) Series uses a measurement sensor based on theelectromagnetic induction method. Electromagnetic induction is a phenomenon where applying anelectric current to one of two coils opposite to each other causes an electric flux on the target coiland induces an electric current on the other coil. By detecting an electric current induced according
to displacement using this basic principle, the amount of displacement is determined. Therefore, in anenvironment where equipment (such as a linear motor) that generates strong magnetism is locatednear the scale, please note the following on installing the scale unit:yy It is recommended to install the scale unit in a location that is not affected by magnetism as muchas possible.
yy If you have no choice but to place the scale unit near the linear motor, select a location with magnetism of 3 mT or less.

Tips
If you cannot set the side of the scale installation part (shown in the figure above), you can use the positioning
reference pin instead. In such a case, set the reference pin according to the installation hole pitch. Even in thiscase, the above standard values must be secured for the parallelism to the machine guide.

2.3.1

Selecting the Material of the Scale Installation Part

It is recommended to use an iron material similar to the material of the scale base as the material of
the scale installation part by considering changes in temperature. If you have no choice but to usean aluminum material, install the unit in an environment with the standard temperature that does notchange a lot (20 °C ± 3 °C recommended).

2.4

Designing the Detector Bracket
Design the Detector bracket according to "4.4 Dimensional Drawings". The dimensions must allow positioning adjustment in the side and gap directions of the Detector. It is recommended that the Detector fixing screw hole should be a long hole that makes it easier to adjust in the side or gap direction of
the Detector.

Tips• Design the Detector bracket so that the scale base can be grounded as GND to frame ground through the
installation part material at installation.
• Determine the bracket thickness by taking the Detector installation screw depth (side: 5 mm, top: 3 mm) into
account. Please note that insufficient thickness may lower the Detector rigidity, decreasing the servo rigidity,
accordingly.

Connecting the Cables

After installing the Detector, connect and fix the cables.
A feedback cable must be prepared by yourself. Find a cable appropriate for your model according to"4.2 Pin Assignment" (page 21).

1 Perform wiring paying attention to the twisting or bends of the cables.
Note that the Detector cable and feedback cable may malfunction if bundled with other cables that
may cause electrical noise, or if they are located near a switching relay dealing with a large current.

2 Use cable clamps or other fasteners to secure the cables.

Applying the conditions in the above table to formula (1) gives the following result.
(4.95 - 4.57) [V] ≧ (0.27 [A] x a [Ω/m] x 2 x L [m]) ÷ b [wires](2)
Modify formula (2) above to the following one.

5.1

Alarm Function

This chapter describes the Alarm Detection function inside the Detector and the alarm codes
for each company interface.

The ABS ST700/ST700L (Compact) Series is equipped with the Alarm Detection function inside theDetector.

5.1.1

Alarm Detections

Alarms detected with the Alarm Detection function can be categorized into the following two groups:
Caution and Error.
yy Caution: Indicates low-level signal strength or the temperature error inside the Detector, detectedby the sensor. In those cases, once troubleshoot the causes, the normal state can be restored.
yy Error: Indicates a signal strength error or absolute value detection error, etc., detected by the sensor. Once these errors occur, the error detection state will be maintained until they are reset, or the
power is re-supplied.

Description
This alarm is output when the temperature inside the Detector rises
above 65 °C and returns to the normal state when it drops below 60 °C.
This alarm is output when the signal strength drops below 30 % andreturns to the normal state when it rises above 30 %.
This alarm is output when the signal strength drops below 15 % orreaches 100 %.
This alarm is output when an abnormality is found in the internal signal
balance.
This alarm is output when an abnormality is found in the absolute value
data.
This alarm is output when an abnormality is found in the internal hardware.
This alarm is output when system initialization is not successfully completed at power-on.
This alarm is output when the maximum feedrate (5 m/s) is exceeded.

The intensity of the signal strength is expressed based on the three regions as shown in the figure
below. The LED shows the intensity so that you can easily check the signal strength. The intensity ofthe signal strength must be within the normal region. If it is in the cation or error region, an alarm is
output.

The LED lights up for about two seconds at power-on,
indicating that the power is turned on.
When both a caution and an error occur, the LED
lights up in red. Then, once the cause of the caution isremoved, the color turns yellow.
When an error occurs, the LED lights up in yellow.
This status is maintained until a command is issued
from the servo amplifier or the Detector is turned off.
When a caution occurs, the LED flashes in yellow.
Once the cause of the caution is removed, the LED isturned off.

Tips
When an alarm occurs during operation, check the details in "5.2 Alarm Codes" and contact the servo amplifier
manufacturer or the nearest Mitutoyo sales office/service center.
