Introduction
The UCC T3 PLUS / UCC S3 are the latest addition to the Renishaw CMM controller product range. They support the complete range of
Renishaw two wire touch-trigger probes along with the high performance SP25M and SP600 (UCC S3 only) . Support for conventional
contact, strain-gauge sensors (TP200), motorised probe heads, stylus changers and temperature compensation are all built into these
controllers.

The UCC T3 PLUS / UCC S3 controllers in conjunction with the SPA3 have 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
PH10 and PH10 PLUS interfacing
directly supporting the TP1, TP2, TP6, TP20 and TP200 touch-trigger probes and SP25 and SP600 scanning probes (UCC S3 only)
directly supporting the Renishaw TEC (16 channels) and RS232 (Mitutoyo) TEC systems
providing a +24 V supply for use by the CMM switches
The UCC T3 PLUS / UCC S3 supports the MCUlite-2, MCU5 and MCU W joysticks through the SPA3.
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 PLUS or UCC S3.
WARNING: UCC T3 PLUS / UCC S3 are not compatible with PH9, PHS, PH20 and REVO systems. No attempt should be made to
connect these system components to the UCC T3 PLUS or UCC S3 as this will result in damage to the product or attached
equipment.
Please use this guide in conjunction with the PH10, TP200 and SP25M user's guide in order to fully understand the system's features,
capabilities and operation.
The UCC T3 PLUS / UCC S3 do not support TP7.

Connecting the UCC T3 PLUS or UCC S3 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 PLUS or
UCC S3 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 or newer software must be installed on the host PC prior to connection of the UCC T3 PLUS or UCC S3. 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 5 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.

Installation and connection details
Dimensions
Width: 440 mm (17.3 in) Depth: 180 mm (7.1 in) Height: 44 mm (1.7 in) Weight: 2.1 kg (4 lb 10 oz)
UCC T3 PLUS or UCC S3 (CMM controller) can either be free standing or used in a 19 inch rack system.
CAUTION: Ensure the controller is disconnected from the power supply during installation.
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.

PH10 head connector (15-way 'D' type socket)
NOTE: For maximum immunity from electrical noise, Renishaw recommends that:
1. Mating shells connectors must be metal bodied.
2. The overall cable screen is continuous and connected to the system ground on the user's equipment through the bodies of the
connectors.
CAUTION: For correct system function, the maximum overall single core resistance between the head and the controller MUST be
less than 2.5 ohm.
