Specifications Physical specification The UCC2 controller is housed inside a 3U high enclosure which can be mounted in a 19 inch rack. Alternatively, it can be used as a desktop unit. A rack mounting kit (Renishaw part number A-5121-0006) is available as an optional extra. - Page 10 Electrical power requirements Controller output supplies The UCC2 produces a +24 V current limited supply with a maximum output current of 1 A. This supply is available for use by the CMM system to supply status switches, etc. The UCC2 also provides protected supplies for other external devices such as scale read-heads, the probe, joystick, etc.
- Page 11 NOTE: The UCC2 an UCC2-2 electronics 0 V rail is connected to the overall ground plane at a star point within the UCC2 and UCC2-2 and also to the protective ground of the ac supply.
- Page 12 The UCC2 contains no user serviceable fuses. It is protected internally from inadvertent current overload by self resetting fuses. There is no internal fuse on the mains supply of the UCC2. The installer must provide suitable protection. The recommended fuse is a 5 A type T (anti-surge) to IEC60127/UL248-14, rated to at least 250 V with a high breaking capacity.

Page 13: Mounting In A 19 Inch Rack
The following procedure is recommended to fit the rack mounting brackets to the UCC2: 1. Position the UCC2 on a firm flat surface, with either the left or right hand side of the unit placed on the surface and the front of the unit facing towards you. -
Page 14: Connectors And Signals
Connectors and signals The purpose of this chapter is to describe in detail the pin-outs of the connectors mounted at the rear of the UCC2 controller and to show examples of relevant circuit diagrams for the input and output circuits. - Page 15 Screen * The UCC2 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 16 UCC2 and UCC2-2 installation guide www.renishaw.com Adjusting readhead supply voltage It is strongly recommended that the sense lines are connected to the readhead so that the adjustment of the supply voltage, to compensate for cable drop, is automatic. However, there are some circumstances where this is not practical and we have provided a manual method of boosting the supply voltage.

SPA2-2 installation guide (Renishaw part number H-1000-5234) for details. - Page 18 Scanning probe connector The plug on the cable from the analogue probe connects to the 15‐way high‐density ‘D' socket on the rear panel of the UCC2. This socket is intended for use with the Renishaw TP2, TP6, TP20 and TP200 touch-trigger probes and the SP25 and SP600 series of analogue scanning probes.
- Page 19 Servo power amplifier connector The UCC2 has the ability to connect a 3rd party servo power amplifier system through this 25-way 'D' socket on its rear panel. A 24 Vdc supply is also provided by the UCC2 through this connector to energise the CMM status switch.
- Page 20 This is the E-STOP reset line from the servo power amplifier. It is made available to the UCC2 plug in daughter-card slots for incorporation by products that need to be aware or pass on this signal's status. It is part of the “category 2” E‐STOP system supported by the UCC2 and SPA2 controller system.

- Page 24 UCC2 general purpose inputs These 6 opto-isolated LED inputs (pins 13 to 18) to the UCC2 can be used to send signals from the CMM to the CMM host computer via the UCC2 (see the UCC programmers guide, command number 279). Pulling an input pin low, towards the 0 V (24 V return line) will cause the controller to return a ‘0' in reply to the read command.
- Page 25 This input ﴾pin 21﴿ is used to inform the UCC2 of the CMM ‘emergency stop' condition ﴾E‐STOP﴿. This signal is also available on the SPA connector pin 24. If the input pin is pulled down to the 24 V return line, the UCC2 will assume that there is no emergency stop active and will allow the servo motors to be energised.

Page 26: Air Pressure Switch
The crash switch should pull the input down to 0V return line. If the input is not pulled down, the UCC2 will disable all motors, and inform the CMM's host computer of this state. During commisioning process it is possible to invert this signal from an active low to an active high. - Page 27 PH10 controller, a SP80 interface, an additional axis (rotary table or dual drive), a temperature interface, etc. This allows the UCC2 to be correctly configured for the application for which it is being used, and also allows for the integration future products.

- Page 42 The process is in two stages, amplifier enabling and contactor energising, with protective delays between each stage. Amplifier enabling The ‘amps OK' signal produced by the amplifier control circuits is an indication to the UCC2 controller that the servo power amplifiers are not faulty.
- Page 43 NOTE: This method is not recommended. Motor command signals The UCC2 controller generates complementary motor velocity command signals for each axis (X axis = pins 8+9, Y axis = pins 10+11, Z axis = pins 12+13, 4th axis = pins 14+15).
- Page 44 There are six uncommitted inputs available on the UCC2 I/O connector, pins 13 to 18 are allocated to be inputs 0 to 5 consecutively. The UCC does not directly read these inputs, it merely acts as a post-box. These inputs are read by the application software package via command 279 “Read from controller ports”.
- Page 45 In addition it will prevent motor re‐engagement if the ‘emergency stop' switch is still activated. Where an electromechanical controlled emergency stop is required, to IEC/ EN60204-1 category 0, it must be separately provided and external to the UCC2.

Page 50: Fatal Faults
During system file downloading, the power on LED is lit 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 lit. In this condition, the UCC2 waits for a system restart. - Page 51 The amplifier and motor contactor feedback signals can also be examined using the ‘input signals' window. A PICS STOP signal may originate from an external accessory such as a probe head controller. If the external device is a Renishaw interface it will indicate it is asserting the PICS STOP by illuminating its own stop led but it may be necessary to remove the PICS connections to peripherals one by one to establish which one is responsible.

- Page 53 Ping tests connectivity, so as long as your UCC2 has an IP address and is either waiting for a download or the downloadable is running, you can check that you have a connection to it by pinging it. This is done as follows: 1.
- Page 54 NOTE: The IP addresses displayed here are those on the PC. 2. Now ping the UCC2 using its IP address, e.g. if you think that the UCC2s IP address is 10.0.0.2, then a successful ping of it would look like this: The parts which matter in the output are the replies and “0% loss”.
- Page 55 You have to be slightly careful with ping because you can successfully ping yourself! The output of ipconfig (step 1) tells you which IP addresses are associated with your network adapters. Use this information to make sure that you are not pinging yourself and thinking that you have just confirmed your connection with a UCC2. “IP configure” software fails to run If the PC is using a VPN ﴾virtual private network﴿...
