WARNING: The SPA3-2 must not be powered directly from the mains.
A single fault tolerant PSU approved to BS EN 60950-1:2006+A2:2013 (or current version) must be used, and connected to a
supply incorporating a protective earth conductor.
WARNING: SPA3-2 is isolated from the power supply by disconnection of the ac power connector from the external PSU. If any
additional means of isolation is required, it must be specified and fitted by the machine manufacturer or the installer of the product.
The isolator must be sited within easy reach of the CMM operator and comply with BS EN 61010-1:2010 (or current version) and

Introduction
The SPA3-2 is a 3-axis dc servo power amplifier and is a drop-in replacement for the SPA3. The SPA3-2 is compatible with the UCC controller
range and the MCUlite-2, MCU5-2 and MCU W-2 joysticks.
This system can operate on the majority of CMM structures without the requirement for changing motors.
Features
The SPA3-2 has the following improvements over the SPA3:
The primary advantage of the SPA3-2 is the ample machine I/O: six inputs and seven outputs as well as six I/O ports which are configurable
to be either inputs or outputs
Adjustable power supply voltage to readheads and motor encoders
Support for absolute BiSS readheads
Support for up to four axes of position feedback for dual Y scale machines
Operating specification
Three axis dc servo motor drive:
Independent axis voltage control of 12 V to 80 V
Independent axis current limits up to 9.5 A peak
Simulated linear power amplifier. Drive outputs are free from switching edges, eliminating noise from drive PWM, improving
repeatability and reducing emissions
Axis scale and motor encoder power supply: 5.25 V to 6.75 V, 0.5 A maximum (each)
+24 V 1 A power supply for CMM solenoids, solid state switches, machine user specific hardware
Digital input signals from air pressure, crash detection, all axis inner and outer travel limits and six user specific inputs
Digital output signals to control machine air, axis brakes and seven user specific outputs
Six configurable digital pins which can be independently configured to be either input or output

Installation software
UCCassist-2
The SPA3-2 is installed using the Renishaw UCCassist-2 program as part of the commissioning and maintenance process of a UCC controlled
CMM.
Capabilities of the software include:
Controller configuration for individual machine hardware
Machine system diagnostics
Operation with Renishaw's machine checking gauge, enabling the user to complete frequent volumetric accuracy tests to ensure the CMM
is running within the specified operational tolerances
Automated CMM error mapping routines, when used in conjunction with the Renishaw ML10, XM600 or XL80 laser systems
Automated firmware update for all UCC and SPA products
CAUTION: Do not power down the SPA3-2 whilst parameters or firmware are being updated. This may cause an error requiring
the unit to be returned to Renishaw.
Software installation
The new features of SPA3-2 are supported in UCCsuite 5.1 and later. The software can be obtained online at www.renishaw.com/cmmsupport
or from your local Renishaw supplier. Follow the prompts to install the UCCserver software.
WARNING: The SPA3-2 must only be commissioned through Renishaw software. Failure to do so may result in unexpected
machine movement.

General wiring standards for the installation of
the SPA3-2
To achieve reliable operation of the SPA3-2, the following should be observed:
The system must be portable appliance tested (PAT) before the equipment is powered
All signal cables must be screened and all cable screens should be connected electrically to the cable connector's metal shells
It is recommended that screens for motor cables should be connected to the shell on the SPA3-2 end and connected to the motor housing
at the CMM end
Signal cables such as tacho and scale cables should be connected to the SPA3-2 and have a cable shield that runs to the machine but left
unconnected at the machine
All cable connectors should be secured to the SPA3-2 by the connector jack screws
SPA3-2 has a maximum output voltage of 80 Vdc and peak current of 9.5 A per axis. The actual peak current will be dependent on the size
of the motor fitted and the machine performance specification, therefore the cable size needs to be calculated by the system installer or
OEM.
WARNING: The installation should only be performed by Renishaw or a Renishaw certified installation engineer.
WARNING: Hazardous voltage warning labels must be fitted to motors where hazardous voltages are present.
CAUTION: Motor cables must have a minimum cross section of 0.3 mm².
For SPA3‐2 supply voltage of over 60 V, motor cables must have a minimum cross section of 0.75 mm² as specified in BS EN
60204-1:2018 para. 12.2 (or current version) and have insulation rated to at least 150 V to provide adequate protection against
electric shock.
The actual peak current will be dependent on the size of the motor fitted and the machine performance specification, therefore the
cable size needs to be calculated by the system installer or OEM.

Installation
The SPA3-2 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. The dimensions shown on the above drawing are in
mm (in).
Mounting the SPA3-2
The SPA3-2 is supplied with a rack mounting kit, this allows the SPA3-2 to be fitted into a standard 19" rack.
Fitting mounting brackets
NOTE: The screws supplied with this kit are M5 × 6 mm countersink type.

Scale and motor encoder inputs (15W HDD
socket)
The SPA3-2 can support up to 4-axis scale inputs and 3-axis of motor encoder inputs. Each input supports a RS-422 (TIA/EIA-422) standard
quadrature interface with an edge rate of up to 30 MHz, also supported are discrete and tristate error signals as well as readhead limit
switches.
The scale inputs support absolute readheads using the BiSS protocol as used by Renishaw Resolute™, 18, 26, 32 and 36 bit protocols are
supported.

voltage can be set to 5.25 V (default), 5.75 V, 6.25 V and 6.75 V.
The voltage selected applies to all readheads and motor encoders.
