  • Page 6: Installation Requirements

    The UCC MMI-2 controller is only warranted and approved for use with the provided PSU. The UCC MMI-2 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 IEC61010 and any applicable national wiring regulations for the country of installation.

  • Page 11: General Wiring Standards

    All signal cables MUST be screened and all cable screens should be connected electrically to the cable connector's metal shells. It is recommended that cable screens should only be connected to the functional earth (via the connector shell) of the UCC MMI-2. To avoid earth loops, cable screens should not be directly attached to the CMM's functional earth.

  • Page 19 UCC MMI-2 scale error interface circuit The UCC MMI-2 supports the error signal provided by Renishaw's digital incremental encoders. The UCC MMI-2 can also detect tri-state conditions on the A and B signals. If the error signal is not integrated into the connected encoder, then the user should connect pin 3 (Error - ) to pin 7 ( +V scale).
  • Page 20 The machine I/O socket is used to provide connections for the CMM input / output. The cable needs to be created by the CMM installer using the pin out guide below. The connector for the machine I/O socket is provided within the UCC MMI-2 kit.
  • Page 21 The inputs are activated by being pulled down to 0 V. They are not opto isolated and are pulled up to +24 V by a 10 kΩ resistor within the UCC MMI-2. These inputs can accept signal levels in the range of +5 V to +24 V, and need to be pulled below 1.5 V to signify the active state.
