Safety
Information to the user
Handle and dispose of batteries in accordance
with the manufacturer's recommendations. Use
only the recommended batteries. Do not allow the
battery terminals to contact other metallic objects.
Take care not to short the battery contacts as
this may be a fire hazard. Ensure that the contact
strips are located securely.
The OMP40-2 has a glass window, handle with
care if broken, to avoid injury.
Information to the machine supplier/
installer
It is the machine supplier's responsibility to
ensure that the user is made aware of any
hazards involved in operation, including those
mentioned in Renishaw product literature, and
to ensure that adequate guards and safety
interlocks are provided.
Under certain circumstances, the probe signal
may falsely indicate a probe seated condition. Do
not rely on probe signals to halt the movement of
the machine.
Information to equipment installer
All Renishaw equipment is designed to comply
with the relevant EEC and FCC regulatory
requirements. It is the responsibility of the
equipment installer to ensure that the following
guidelines are adhered to, in order for the product
to function in accordance with these regulations:
•
any interface MUST be installed in a position
away from any potential sources of electrical
noise, i.e. power transformers, servo drives
etc;
•
all 0V/ground connections should be
connected to the machine 'star point' (the
'star point' is a single point return for all
equipment ground and screen cables)
.
This is very important and failure to adhere
to this can cause a potential difference
between grounds;
•
all screens must be connected as outlined
in the user instructions;
•
cables must not be routed alongside high
current sources, i.e. motor power supply
cables etc, or be near high speed data lines;
•
cable lengths should always be kept to a
minimum.

2.12.1
OMP40-2 basics
Introduction
Welcome to the OMP40-2 job set-up and
inspection probe, an upgrade of the multiple
award winning OMP40. At only 40 mm diameter,
this compact probe sets industry standards for
functionality, reliability and robustness in the
harshest of machine tool environments.
The OMP40-2 is ideal for small to medium
machining centres including the growing range of
HSK machines.
•
The OMP40 uses legacy transmission
only, whereas the OMP40-2 can use either
modulated or legacy transmission modes.
•
full compatibility with Renishaw's industry
proven optical transmission systems.
•
360° optical 'switch-on' facility allows probe
to be switched off in any position.
Optical transmission method
The OMP40-2 can be operated in either
modulated or legacy mode.
Modulated mode
Certain forms of light interference can cause
false triggers or mimic a start signal and falsely
activate the probe. These effects are much
reduced when modulated transmission is
selected.
When set to modulated mode, the probe will
only function with one of the following modulated
receivers: OMI-2T, OMI-2 OMI-2H or OMI-2C.
Modulated transmission is capable of providing
two different coded start signals. This allows the
use of two probes with one interface. Twin probe
installations require an OMI-2T interface.
Legacy mode
When set to legacy mode, the probe will only
function with an OMI or OMM/MI12.

2.2
OMP40-2 basics
Trigger Logic™
All OMP40-2 settings are configured using the
Trigger Logic™ technique.
Trigger Logic™ (see Section 4 - Trigger Logic™)
is a method that allows the user to view and
select all available mode settings in order to
customise a probe to suit a specific application.
Trigger Logic™ is activated by battery insertion
and uses a sequence of stylus deflection
(triggering) to systematically lead the user
through the available choices to allow selection of
the required mode options.
Current probe settings can be reviewed by
simply removing the batteries for a minimum of
5 seconds, and then replacing them to activate
the Trigger Logic™ review sequence.
2.3
OMP40-2 basics
Modes of operation
The OMP40-2 can be in one of three modes:
Standby mode: where the probe is awaiting a
switch-on signal:
Operational mode: where the probe has been
activated:
Configuration mode: where Trigger Logic™ may
be used to configure probe settings.
NOTE:
A visual indication of currently selected probe
settings is provided on battery insertion, by the
three multi-colour LEDs located within the probe
window (see Section 4 - Trigger Logic™).
NOTE:
Ensure that the probe does not remain active in
the tool changer when optical on/time out option
is selected by observing the LEDs.
Probe switch-on Probe switch-off
Optical switch-on
(When commanded by an
M code or machine output).
Optical off
(When commanded by an M code or machine output).
A timer automatically switches the probe off after 90 minutes from
the last trigger if not turned off by an M code or machine output.
Note:
This method is required when operating a twin probe system
with an OMI-2T.
After being switched on, the OMP40-2 must be on for 1 second
minimum before being switched off.
Timer off (time out)
Time out will occur (12, 33 or 134 seconds) after the last probe
trigger or reseat.
Optical switch-on
(When commanded by
Auto start).
Timer off (time out)
Time out will occur (12, 33 or 134 seconds) after the last probe
trigger or reseat.

OMP40-2 basics
Configurable settings
See pages 4.1/4.3
Optical switch-off
See table page 2.3
Enhanced trigger filter
Probes subjected to high levels of vibration or
shock loads may output signals without having
contacted any surface. The Enhanced trigger filter
improves the probes resistance to these effects.
When the filter is enabled, a constant 10 ms delay
is introduced to the probe output.
The OMP40-2 is factory set to trigger filter off.
NOTE:
It may be necessary to reduce the probe
approach speed to allow for the increased stylus
overtravel during the extended time delay.
Transmission method/probe
identification
Legacy start filter off/on
If false start
problems are experienced in
Legacy mode, activate the Legacy start filter
on option. This introduces a 1 second delay
to the probe switch on time and improves the
probes resistance to false starts caused by light
interference.
Modulated Probe 1/Probe 2
To operate a twin probe system, one probe
needs to be set to Probe 1 start and the other
set to Probe 2 start, these settings are user
configurable.
In a twin probe system such as a spindle probe
and an optical tool setting probe, the spindle
probe would be set to Probe 1 start and the tool
setter would be set to Probe 2 start.
For most applications the spindle probe
should be set to Probe 1 start. However where
the application uses two spindle probes the
secondary spindle probe is set to Probe 2.
Optical power
Where the separation between the OMP40-2 and
the receiver is small (no more than 2 metres), the
low optical power setting may be selected, see
pages 3.2/3.3/3.5 and 4.3. This setting will reduce
the optical transmission range and extend battery
life.
The OMP40-2 is factory set to standard Optical
power.
