Key Description

1 Machine motors
2 Machine scales and readheads
3 Probe head - manual or fixed - connects to the UCC T3-2 via the machine cabling
4 UCCassist-2 commisioning software and application software
5 UCC T3-2 and power amplifier SPA3 - these connect to the machine cabling
6 MCU joystick - MCUlite-2, MCU5 or MCU W - connects to SPA3
7 PC - connects to UCC T3-2 via an Ethernet cable

The UCC T3-2 is a controller in a 19 inch rack-mountable enclosure. It is coupled to the CMM host computer by an Ethernet link and to the
CMM via external cable interface connectors.

The UCC T3-2 controller in conjunction with the SPA3 has the capability of:

controlling three axes of a CMM (accepting digital readhead signals and generating three axes of motor drive signals)
accepting input signals from emergency stop, air pressure, crash detector, digital SPA, amplifier faults and all axis inner and outer travel

limit switches
accepting two uncommitted general purpose input signals and generating one uncommitted general purpose output signal
directly supporting the TP1, TP2, TP6, TP20 and TP200 touch-trigger probes
providing a +24 V supply for use by the CMM switches
supporting the MCUlite-2, MCU5 and MCU W joysticks

This guide gives information on physical installation, system connections and communications, as well as assistance in fault finding during
the installation of the UCC T3-2.

WARNING: UCC T3-2 is not compatible with PH9, PH10, PHS, PH20 and REVO systems. No attempt should be made to connect
these system components to the UCC T3-2 as this will result in damage to the product or attached equipment.

Please use this guide in conjunction with the SPA3 and PICS user's guide in order to fully understand the system's features, capabilities
and operation.

The UCC T3-2 does not support TP7.

Connecting the UCC T3-2 to the host PC

Hardware connection

The host PC must have a dedicated Ethernet connection to the CMM controller. It is recommended that this is not a USB plug-in adapter
because of the reduction in speed these devices can produce.

If the host PC is connected to a network, it is necessary to install additional hardware to allow a dedicated connection for UCC T3­2 communication. For details on how to install additional hardware on the host PC, please refer to the manufacturer user's guide.

The CMM controller is capable of using 1 Gbps Ethernet (with appropriate cable).
A 5 m Ethernet cable is provided for this link as part of the CMM controller kit. The cable included is a Cat 5E, cross-over type. Other

lengths may be used, but the maximum length is determined by the generic specification for Ethernet connections.
It is recommened that a shielded Ethernet cable is used if there is a likelihood of EMC disruption due to the environment or location of the

routed cable.
It is recommended that the cross-over cable is labelled to avoid being mistaken for a non cross-over cable.

Software installation

UCCsuite 4.7 service pack 2 (SP2) or newer software must be installed on the host PC prior to connection of the UCC T3-2. The UCC
software suite can be downloaded from the Renishaw website. After the software has been installed, run UCCassist-2 to set up and
configure the CMM controller.

IP configure / reset button

Number 3 on the rear panel is the reset button which has two different functions. The function depends on the operational state of the
controller.

1. Pressing and releasing the reset button within fifteen seconds of switching on or rebooting the unit will force the controller into IP
configuration state.

2. Pressing and releasing the reset button after the download or whilst operating will cause the unit to restart.

To enter IP configuration state when the unit is already powered, press and release the reset button twice.

Installation and connection details

Dimensions

Width: 440 mm (17.3 in) Depth: 180 mm (7.1 in) Height: 44 mm (1.7 in) Weight: 2.1 kg (4 lb 10 oz)

UCC T3 -2 can either be free standing or used in a 19 inch rack system.

CAUTION: Ensure the controller is disconnected from the power supply during installation.

Stand-alone installation

The CMM controller unit draws air from the right hand side when viewed from the front and expels air out of the left hand side. A minimum
clearance gap of 10 mm is necessary between the sides of the unit and any potential obstruction.

NOTE: A scale error will cause the UCC T3-2 to enter an error state which is not recoverable within a metrology application
environment. If a scale error occurs it will be necessary to reinitialise the installation due to the possibility of lost scale counts
and metrology being effected.

Maintenance

WARNING: Maintenance should only be carried out after the machine has been isolated from the electrical supply, compressed air
supply or other energy sources in accordance with the machine manufacturer's instructions.

Periodically check that all mounting screws and electrical connectors are securely tightened. Electrical safety checks should include
inspecting the mains cable for damage and the safety of the connections. Periodical safety checks should also include the function of the
emergency stop system, including operation of all switches integrated into the system.

Remove dust from the external surfaces with a clean dry cloth as the unit is not sealed against liquid.

Filter replacement

UCC T3-2 uses an internal air flow for cooling purposes. This system has a replaceable filter to minimise the ingress of dust. The condition
of the of the filter should be checked on a regular basis. It is recommended that this filter is removed and checked/replaced as necessary or
every 12 months.

The following procedure should be followed when replacing the air filter:

Remove power from the controller
Remove the 19 inch rack mounting brackets (if fitted) by removing the two fixing screws (not shown)
Pull the head of both the filter retaining clips away from the unit so they disengage
Pull away the external filter cover
Remove the filter material from the filter recess
Replace the filter using the reverse of the method given above (the replacement filter part number is A-5518-0011)

Advisory

It is recommended that periodical metrology tests are performed in order to identify any faults in subsystems eg air bearings, structure,
cables, software etc.
