Renishaw SP80 Quick setup guide

SP80 and SP80H installation and integration
guide
Document part number: H-1000-5212-05-B
This installation and integration guide is intended to assist OEM and Renishaw personnel in the initial installation, integration and use of the
Renishaw SP80 and SP80H ultra-high accuracy scanning probes. The SP80 and SP80H are quadrature output measurement probes that
provide class-leading performance, as well as the most flexible use of styli for maximum productivity.
This guide provides information on mechanical and electrical probe installation, system connections and interface options. If you intend to
handle probe interfacing yourself then details of probe signals, power requirements etc. can be found in the section ‘system interconnection
and electrical integration', although this will significantly increase the complexity of the integration process.

System requirements
Electrical requirements
UCC S3 controller
Please refer to the UCC T3 PLUS and UCC S3 installation guide (Renishaw part number H-1000-2118) for safety instructions and
documentation relevant to the use of the UCC S3 controller and its subsystems.
UCC PI 80 controller
Please refer to the UCC PI 80 installation guide (Renishaw part number H-1000-7608) for safety instructions and documentation relevant to

Safety
There is no overtravel protection in the +Z axis other than an end stop. The control system must therefore be able to stop the motion of the
machine in the +Z axis of the probe before the endstop is reached. If this is not the case, safety glasses must be worn when operating or
observing the operation of the SP80 and SP80H system to avoid injury in the case of stylus breakage.
Machine operators must be trained in the use and application of the SP80 and SP80H in the context of the machine it is fitted to before being
allowed to operate that machine.
CAUTION: Permanent magnets are used in some components of the SP80 and SP80H system. It is important to keep them away
from items which may be affected by magnetic fields, e.g. data storage systems, pacemakers and watches etc.

8N/C Shell Screen
NOTE: Vref is nominally 2.5 V and is the zero crossing reference for the Sin and Cos output signals. This reference voltage, and all
other signal inputs must be monitored downstream of the probe using a high impedance buffered input.
The effective impedance of any input signal to ground should be >100 KΩ. Failure to comply with this requirement may result in an apparent
fault, or reduction in amplitude of the Sin and Cos outputs. Contact Renishaw for advice if uncertain.
The recommended cable specification for the SP80 probe is the same as the current motorised head cable (PH10) which is:
Mating connectors must be metal bodied
The overall cable screen is continuous and connected to the system ground on the user's equipment through the bodies of the connectors
The maximum overall single core resistance between the SP80 and the IU80 interpolator must be <2.5 Ω.
The maximum cable length between the SP80 / SP80H and the interface equipment is 30 m.

Connecting the IU80 interpolator unit
The IU80 is connected to the SP80 by the machine cable and the short adaptor cable. The output of the IU80 is then transferred either to the
Renishaw CC6 PCI counter card, or to an OEM controller via a Renishaw supplied unterminated cable.
See sections System interconnection and electrical integration, Connecting SP80 / SP80H to IU80 and CC6 and Connecting SP80 / SP80H to
IU80 and OEM counter card for further detail.
