Introduction
The guide gives information on physical installation, system connections, communications and interface settings, as well as assistance in
fault-finding during the installation of PHC10-3 PLUS.
WARNING: The components of PH10 PLUS system are not compatible with PH9 or PH20 system components. No attempt should
be made to connect PH10 PLUS system components to a PH9 or PH20 system, as this will result in damage to the product.
The guide should be read in conjunction with the PH10 PLUS series user's guide in order to fully understand the system's features,
capabilities and operation.
The PH10 PLUS series of motorised probe heads can only be used in conjunction with the PHC10-3 PLUS and the UCC2 PH10
daughtercard. PHC10-3 PLUS has replaced the PHC10-2 and provides support for RS232 and USB communications (IEEE is no longer
supported). PHC10-3 PLUS uses an external power supply for the PH10 PLUS series of heads, manages all the head functions and
communicates via a suitable interface with the CMM's computer. PHC10-3 PLUS does not manage the probe functions but does have the
provision for an interface to be fitted.

Conversion from PHC10-2 to PHC10-3 PLUS
PHC10-3 PLUS is designed to be a plug in functional replacement for PHC10-2. There are some differences which the user needs to be
aware of, the connectors have been rearranged on the rear panel but are of the same type and are labelled in the same way. A USB
connector has been added for those requiring USB communications. Unused switches have been removed and the remaining switches
are now grouped in one row. See the next table for changes.
