UCC PI 80 introduction

The UCC PI 80 is required for CMM systems which are fitted with Renishaw's SP80 scanning probe and facilitates the use of the UCC S3 as the machine controller.

If the CMM system uses brushless motors, then the UCC PI 80 may be connected to a Renishaw SPA2-2 which provides power. Please see the UCC BI user guide (Renishaw part number H-1000-7602) for configuration instructions.

If the CMM system uses motors which are not supported by Renishaw SPA products (e.g. above 80 V or 10 A), then the UCC PI 80 may be connected to a third party analogue amplifier to provide power. Please see the UCC AI installation guide for configuration instructions.

* NOTE: Only to be used when interfacing to an SPA2-2 (see the UCC BI installation guide, Renishaw part number H-1000-7602) or when using a third party amplifier (see the UCC AI installation guide, Renishaw part number H-1000-7611), otherwise the SPA3 / SPA3-2 connections should be used.

** NOTE: Only to be used when interfacing to an SPA2-2 (see UCC BI installation guide, Renishaw part number H-1000-7602).

WARNING: The capability to connect the UCC PI 80 to a third party analogue amplifier requires UCCsuite v5.3 or newer.
