2. Determine the reference unit used.
A reference unit is the minimum position data unit used to move a
load (minimum unit of reference from the host controller).
Reference unit: 0.001 mm
Determine the reference unit according to
equipment specifications and positioning accuracy.
To move a table in 0.001 mm units
Examples (in mm):
• Reference unit can be 0.1in or 0.01in or 0.01mm or 0.001mm,
etc. A reference unit of one pulse moves the load by one
reference unit.
• When the reference unit is 1µm
If a reference of 50000 units is input, the load moves 50mm
(1.97in) (50000 ⋅ 0.001mm = 50mm).
3. Determine the travel distance per load shaft revolution in reference
units.

The servo amplifier will not work properly if the electronic gear ratio exceeds this range. In that case,
modify either the load configuration or the reference unit.
