Introduction

This leaflet describes how to install / remove a UCC daughtercard
into/from a UCC controller.

UCC daughtercards offer the ability to enhance the UCC product by

Daughtercards

The UCC system offers the following daughtercards:

• PHC1050 daughtercard

Purpose: To permit direct connection of the PH10 range of

motorised heads to the UCC controller.

• SP80 daughtercard

Purpose: To interface SP80 analogue scanning probe with the

UCC controller.

• SP25M daughtercard

Purpose: To interface SP25M analogue scanning probe with the

UCC1 controller (UCC1 only).

• PICs/RS232 daughtercard

Purpose: To increase the ability of the UCC controller

by providing a PICs (A connection) and RS232
communication links to a motorised probe head

controller and / or autochange controller.

• MCU1 daughtercard

Purpose: To interface MCU1 joystick to the UCC1 controller

(UCC1 only).

• Joystick interface daughtercard

Purpose: To interface an analogue joystick to UCC controller.

• Additional axis daughtercard

Purpose: To enable the UCC to control an additional machine

axis, either dual Y or rotary table. The card can
accept scale input signal and optionally send servo
commands to an appropriate servo power amplifier.

• Temperature sensor daughtercard

Purpose: To enable the UCC system to monitor up to 24

temperature sensors. This can be a combination of axis and
workpiece sensors (also available from Renishaw).

Installing a daughtercard

CAUTION: It is essential that full anti-static precautions are

to host computer

The following procedure is recommended for installing a daughtercard
into the UCC1 or UCC2:

1. Remove the a.c. power supply from the controller and disconnect
all cables from the CMM.

2. Remove the top panel of the unit by removing the five screws at
the top of the rear panel and the screw located at the top of each
side panel, near the front. Retain the fixing screws.

3. Select a socket on the mother board to house the daughtercard.

4. Remove (and store for possible re-use) the blanking plate from
the rear panel of the enclosure.

5. Carefully position the daughtercard so that the rear connectors
pass through the hole in the controller rear panel, but without
engaging the motherboard connector.

6. Align the daughtercard’s connector with the socket on the
motherboard.

7. Check that the rear panel top hook of the daughtercard is located
above the slot in the rear panel.

8. Press the daughtercard firmly into the socket on the motherboard
until it is seen to be fully engaged.

9. Confirm that the top hook is engaged in the rear panel. If it is not,
repeat steps 7 and 8.

10. Refit the top panel of the enclosure and secure using the fixing
screws.

11. Reconnect all cables between the controller and CMM. Switch on
the a.c. power supply.

Removing a daughtercard

Remove a daughtercard from the UCC1 or UCC2 as follows:

1. Remove the a.c. power supply from the controller and disconnect
all cables from the CMM.

2. Remove the top panel of the unit by removing the five screws at
the top of the rear panel and the screw located at the top of each
side panel, near the front. Retain the fixing screws.

3. Carefully remove the daughtercard from the connector on the
motherboard, taking care to disengage the top hook from the rear
panel.

4. Refit the blanking plate in the rear panel of the enclosure.

5. Refit the top panel of the enclosure and secure using the fixing
screws.

6. Reconnect all cables between the controller and CMM. Switch on
