Connecting SP80 / SP80H to IU80 and CC6

Key | Description |
---|---|
1 | SP80 / SP80H probe (shown for mounting on the CMM via KM80) |
2 | PL157 - SP80 to Lemo adaptor cable |
3 | PLM6 / 7 / 8 / 9 - standard machine cable |
4 | IU80 interpolator box |
5 | PL158 - IU80 output cable to CC6 |
6 | CC6 PCI counter card |
The IU80 conditions the SP80 / SP80H signal into an RS422 differential quadrature scale signal. This unit is required when a UCC S3 and UCC PI 80 is not used for the integration of the probe. The IU80 has a 15-way D input connector to accept the standard PH10 machine cable, and a 26-way D output connector, incorporating all axis outputs from the probe.
This cable must not exceed 1 m in length.
The IU80 connects to the CC6 counter card using the PL158 cable. The connections are detailed below. If making your own cable it should be no greater than 1 m in length.
The IU80 RESET function (pin 3 below) is only available with IU80s manufactured to version 3 and above.

PL158 - IU80 to CC6 cable
Probe and IU80 power supply
The IU80 must be provided with two power supplies.
+9 V to +18 V @ 300 mA max to supply the SP80 probe and
+4.75 V to 5.25 V @ 1 A max to supply the IU80.
Power must originate from either the OEM's controller or from a Renishaw CC6 counter card.
