Connecting the MCU to the UCC controller
The MCU joystick kits include a 5 metre flexible cable provided as standard. The cable is fitted from 9-pin D connector on the rear of MCU to a 9-pin D connector on the rear of the UCC controller.Connecting to the UCC2
Connecting to the UCC T3
The emergency stop button on the MCUlite-2, MCU5 or MCU W has a dedicated circuit that is fed directly into the rear of the UCC controller. These connectors are then integrated to the CMM's emergency stop system in the Renishaw servo power amplifiers or UCC controller. If non-Renishaw servo power amplifiers are used then it is the integrators responsibility to connect the MCU E-STOP switch into the emergency stop system.
