UCC T3-2 introduction

The UCC T3-2 is the latest generation Renishaw CMM controller product range. It supports the complete range of Renishaw two wire touch-trigger probes along with the high performance TP200 probe.

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 SPA3-2 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 via SPA3-2
• 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, MCU5-2 and MCU W-2 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.

Please use this guide in conjunction with the SPA3-2 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.
