HSI installation guide This page is intentionally left blank.
HSI can draw its power from the machine’s nominal 12 Vdc to 30 Vdc supply. Where such a supply is not available, the HSI can be powered using any 12 Vdc to 30 Vdc (minimum 0.5 A) power supply.
HSI installation guide HSI components The following components are housed within the front face of the HSI (as shown in the figure below): • RENGAGE probe connector block (3-way); • Standard probe connector block (3-way); • Control connector block (12-way);...
Terminals 4 and 5 If the HSI is installed where it cannot be easily seen, an output is provided so that a remote device (such as an LED or buzzer – not supplied) can be connected to the HSI and positioned near to the machine operator.
• a flashing red when a probe inhibit function is active. If the LED is unlit, then there is no power supply to the HSI. Remote device The remote device circuit provides: •...
Maximum voltage is 30 V. NOTE: Change of state debounce time is 25 ms ±5 ms. Debounce time is the time delay between the HSI responding to a probe trigger and the point at which the probe can be used again. Stylus contact bounce...
12 V and 30 V to pin 3 (INHIBIT) on the HSI 12-way connector. To deactivate the inhibit function, the 12 V to 30 V supply must be removed from pin 3 (INHIBIT) of the HSI 12-way connector. CNC CONTROLLER...
When using this method, it is recommended that the HSI is connected as shown in the following diagram. Shorting together pin 1 (0 V) and pin 2 (INHIBIT RETURN) of the HSI 12-way connector (less than 100 Ω) will force the output into a seated state, irrespective of actual probe status, and remove power from the probe.
HSI specification Principal application The HSI processes signals from RENGAGE probes or standard probes and converts them into voltage-free SSR output, which is then transmitted to the CNC machine controller. Dimensions Width: 134 mm (5.28 in) Height: 34.7 mm (1.37 in) Depth: 98 mm (3.86 in)
