  • Page 2: General Information

    Renishaw distributor. Warranty Renishaw plc warrants its equipment for a limited period (as set out in our Standard Terms and Conditions of Sale) provided that it is installed exactly as defined in associated Renishaw documentation. Prior consent must be obtained from Renishaw if non-Renishaw equipment (e.g. interfaces and/or cabling) is to be used or substituted.
  • Page 3 Renishaw probes and associated systems are precision tools used for obtaining precise measurements and must therefore be treated with care. Changes to Renishaw products Renishaw reserves the right to improve, change or modify its hardware or software without incurring any obligations to make changes to Renishaw equipment previously sold.

    Information to user (47CFR section 15.21) The user is cautioned that any changes or modifications not expressly approved by Renishaw plc or an authorised representative could void the user's authority to operate the equipment.
  • Page 6 Installation category II The UCC MMI is isolated from ac power by disconnection of the IEC mains connector from the supplied PSU. If any additional means of isolation is required, it must be specified and fitted by the machine manufacturer or installer of the product. The isolator / disconnection device must be sited within easy reach of the operator and comply with any applicable national wiring regulations for the country of installation.

  • Page 8: General Wiring Standards

    All signal cables MUST be screened and all cable screens should be connected electrically to the cable connector's metal shells. Cable screens should only be connected to the protective earth (via the connector shell) at the UCC MMI end, and not directly connected to the CMM protective earth.
  • Page 9 Renishaw 2-wire kinematic touch-trigger probes are supported. The UCC MMI is housed in a 1U 19 inch rack-mountable enclosure. It is coupled to the CMM host computer by a USB 1.1 link and to the CMM by external cable interface connectors. A rack mounting kit is available as an optional extra.

    I/O connections to limit switches, air pressure and other digital inputs and outputs TTP interface The UCC MMI unit incorporates the circuitry and software necessary to interface with the Renishaw TP20, TP1, TP2 and TP6 probes. Power supply unit The UCC MMI requires an external 24 Vdc 2.5 A power supply.

    During system file downloading, the 'power on' LED is on and the 'error' LED is slowly flashing. If the system file download fails then the 'power on', 'error' and 'system ready' (flashing) LEDs will be on. In this condition, the UCC MMI waits for a system restart.

  • Page 16: Cmm Readhead Input Connections

    The X, Y and Z­axis measuring scale readhead input connectors are high­density 15­way ‘D' sockets. The X, Y and Z-axis scale readheads of the CMM must be connected to the relevant socket on the rear panel of the UCC MMI enclosure. Suggestion: Label all readhead connectors to avoid cross connection if removed and replaced in the future.
  • Page 17 Screen * The UCC MMI is capable of supporting both single and dual limit-switch RG22 readheads. The electronic circuits can interface either type without any intervention but the correct type must be set in the machine ini file. If dual limit types are fitted pin 11 functions as the second limit switch.
  • Page 18: Ucc Mmi To Cmm Measuring Scale Readhead

    CMM readhead interface circuit The signals from a readhead or interpolator should be to EIA specification RS-422. UCC MMI input circuits for CMM readhead - scale and reference mark inputs: NOTE: If error inputs are not used or the readhead type is RGH24, connect the –Error input to +5 V.

  • Page 19: Switched Outputs

    Switched outputs The UCC MMI has the following uncommitted switched output. Pin 6 is the uncommitted output available on the UCC MMI I/O connector. The UCC MMI does not directly control the operation of this output, as it is controlled from the application software package via ‘command 318, Write to controller port'. The output is pulled up to the 24 V rail by a 20 kΩ resistor when inactive, and will be pulled down to the 24 V return line via an NPN transistor when activated. There is an excess voltage protective diode fitted internally to the controller. This output is suitable for driving inputs in the range 5 V to 24 V.
  • Page 20: Usb Connection

    The UCC MMI uses the USB1.1 specification communication link. A 5 m USB cable is provided for this link as part of the UCC MMI kit. Other lengths may be used; the maximum being 5 m which is governed by the generic specification for USB connections.

  • Page 22: The Controller - 24 V Supply

    The supply to the scale readheads is a nominal 5.25 Vdc. It compensates for any cable volt drop. WARNING: There is no internal fuse on the power supply to the UCC MMI. The installer must provide suitable protection. The maximum current demand of the UCC MMI is 2.5 A at 24 V.
  • Page 23: Cmm Host Computer

    UCC controller operation. A minimum specification of 1 GHz processor speed and 256 MB RAM is recommended. For UCC MMI only, one free USB port is required for the communication. It is recommended NOT to use a USB hub because of the reduction in speed of operation these devices normally produce.
