7PC - connects to UCC T3-2 via an ethernet cable
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 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 and MCU W 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.
WARNING: UCC T3-2 is not compatible with PH9, PH10, PHS, PH20 and REVO systems. No attempt should be made to connect
these system components to the UCC T3-2 as this will result in damage to the product or attached equipment.
Please use this guide in conjunction with the SPA3 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.

Connecting the UCC T3-2 to the host PC
Hardware connection
The host PC must have a dedicated ethernet connection to the CMM controller. It is recommended that this is not a USB plug-in adapter
because of the reduction in speed these devices can produce.
If the host PC is connected to a network, it is necessary to install additional hardware to allow a dedicated connection for UCC T3-
2 communication. For details on how to install additional hardware on the host PC, please refer to the manufacturer user's guide.
The CMM controller is capable of using 1 Gbps ethernet (with appropriate cable).
A 5 m ethernet cable is provided for this link as part of the CMM controller kit. The cable included is a Cat 5E, cross-over type. Other lengths
may be used, but the maximum length is determined by the generic specification for ethernet connections.
It is recommened that a shielded ethernet cable is used if there is a likelihood of EMC disruption due to the environment or location of the
routed cable.
It is recommended that the cross-over cable is labelled to avoid being mistaken for a non cross-over cable.
Software installation
UCCsuite 4.7 service pack 2 (SP2) or newer software must be installed on the host PC prior to connection of the UCC T3-2. The UCC software
suite can be downloaded from the Renishaw website. After the software has been installed, run UCCassist-2 to set up and configure the CMM
controller.

IP configure / reset button
Number 3 on the rear panel is the reset button which has two different functions. The function depends on the operational state of the
controller.
1. Pressing and releasing the reset button within fifteen seconds of switching on or rebooting the unit will force the controller into IP
configuration state.
2. Pressing and releasing the reset button after the download or whilst operating will cause the unit to restart.
To enter IP configuration state when the unit is already powered, press and release the reset button twice.

UCC T3 -2 can either be free standing or used in a 19 inch rack system.
Stand-alone installation
The CMM controller 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.
Mounting in a 19 inch rack
The rack mounting kit ﴾Renishaw part number A‐5518‐0005﴿ contains two brackets and four M5 × 6 mm screws. Assemble the brackets to
the CMM controller as shown below:

PICS interface configuration
Configuration of the PICS (product interconnection system) is via UCCassist-2.
Renishaw's PICS allows a standard method of connection for real-time signals used by current Renishaw products.
Please refer to the PICS installation guide (Renishaw part number H-1000-5000) for further information when interfaces are fitted.
NOTE: TP7 is not supported with this product.
Cable connection
Renishaw supply a short 0.3 m PICS cable (PL25) with the PHC10-3 PLUS and ACC2-3 units. This cable is designed to connect between
Renishaw controllers and interfaces.
A 5 m PICS cable (PL24) is available to connect the final output stage of the Renishaw system to the CMM controller.
Both cables are terminated with 9 way ‘D' type connectors.
Cable specification
The maximum recommended cable length to interconnect between the Renishaw controllers and interfaces is 0.3 m.
The maximum recommended cable length to connect between the Renishaw system and the CMM controller is 5 m.
If greater lengths are required please discuss this issue with Renishaw.
The cable should be a minimum of 9 cores 7/0.2 overall screened.
The screen must be terminated to the body of each connector.
