Draft copy 09/07/12 i n g e b u o y e r o f e B 1.6 RMP60 installation guide Information to the equipment installer All Renishaw equipment is designed to comply with the relevant EC and FCC regulatory requirements. It is the responsibility of the equipment installer to ensure that the following guidelines are adhered to, in order for the product to function in accordance with these regulations:
any interface MUST be installed in a position away from any potential sources of electrical noise, i.e. power transformers, servo drives etc;
all 0V/ground connections should be connected to the machine "star point" (the
"star point" is a single point return for all equipment ground and screen cables). This is very important and failure to adhere to this can cause a potential difference between grounds;
all screens must be connected as outlined in the user instructions;
cables must not be routed alongside high current sources, i.e. motor power supply cables etc, or be near high speed data lines;
cable lengths should always be kept to a minimum. Equipment operation If this equipment is used in a manner not specified by the manufacturer, the protection provided by the equipment may be impaired. Draft copy 09/07/12 RMP60 basics Introduction Getting started 2.12.1 Three multicolour probe LEDs provide visual indication of selected probe settings. For example:
Switch-on and switch-off methods Probe status - triggered or seated Battery condition Batteries are inserted or removed as shown (see Installing the batteries for further information). On insertion of batteries, the LEDs will begin to flash (see Reviewing current probe settings for further information). System interface The RMI or RMI-Q are integrated interfaces/
receivers used to communicate between the RMP60 probe and the machine control. RMP60 is part of a new generation of radio transmission part probing systems, ideally suited to large machining centres or where line-of-sight between probe and receiver is difficult to achieve. RMP60 features an integrated probe module delivering exceptional robustness and generous overtravel. RMP60 complies with worldwide standards and operates in the 2.4 GHz band. It delivers interference-free transmission through the use of FHSS (frequency hopping spread spectrum). This allows many systems to operate in the same machine shop without risk of cross-talk. RMP60 can be operated/used alone or form part of a larger system comprised of multiple radio spindle probes and/or tool setters to function with a single interface. All RMP60 settings are configured using Trigger Logic. This technique enables the user to review and subsequently change probe settings by deflecting the stylus whilst observing the LED display. Configurable settings are:
Switch-on/switch-off method Trigger filter setting Hibernation setting Multiple probe mode Draft copy 09/07/12 RMP60 installation guide Trigger Logic Modes of operation s c i s a b 0 6 P M R 2.2 Trigger Logic (see Section 4 - Trigger Logic) is a method that allows the user to view and select all available mode settings in order to customise a probe to suit a specific application. Trigger Logic is activated by battery insertion and uses a sequence of stylus deflection (triggering) to systematically lead the user through the available choices to allow selection of the required mode options. Current probe settings can be reviewed by simply removing the batteries for a minimum of 5 seconds, and then replacing them to activate the Trigger Logic review sequence. The RMP60 probe can be in one of three modes:
Standby mode: where the probe is awaiting a switch on signal. Operational mode: activated by one of the switch on methods described on this page. In this mode the RMP60 is ready for use. Configuration mode: where Trigger Logic may be used to configure the following probe settings. Hibernation mode: ??????
Configurable settings Switch on/switch off methods The following switch on/switch off options are user-configurable. 1. Radio on/Radio off 2. Radio on/Timer off 3. 4. 5. Spin on/Spin off Spin on/Timer off Shank switch on/Shank switch off Draft copy 09/07/12 s c i s a b 0 6 P M R 2.3 RMP60 switch on method Switch on options are configurable RMP60 switch off method Switch off options are configurable Switch on time 1 second maximum

(see note below). Radio on Radio off Radio switch on is commanded by machine input. Radio switch off is commanded by machine input. A timer automatically switches the probe off 90 minutes after the last trigger if it is not turned off by machine input. Timer off (timeout) Timeout will occur 12, 33 or 134 seconds (user configurable) after the last probe trigger or reseat. Spin on Spin off Spin at 500 rev/min for 1 second minimum. Spin at 500 rev/min for 1 second minimum. A timer automatically switches the probe off 90 minutes after the last trigger if it is not spun. Timer off (timeout) Timeout will occur 12, 33 or 134 seconds (user configurable) after the last probe trigger or reseat. Shank switch on Shank switch off 1 second maximum. In 'spin on mode , the 2 seconds starts from the moment the spindle reaches 500 rev/min. After being switched on, the RMP60 must be on for 1 second minimum before being switched off. NOTES:
In radio on mode, the switch on time is user selectable 0.5 or 1.0 second maximum when using RMI-Q (selection is made in RMI-Q). Otherwise 1.0 second maximum. In radio on mode, the switch on time assumes a good radio communication link. In a poor RF environment this may rise to a maximum of 3.0 seconds. For more information on the user selectable switch on time when operating with RMI-Q, please refer to the RMI-Q installation guide. Draft copy 09/07/12 RMP60 installation guide s c i s a b 0 6 P M R 2.4 Enhanced trigger filter Probes subjected to high levels of vibration or shock loads may output probe trigger signals without having contacted any surface. The enhanced trigger filter improves the probes resistance to these effects. When the filter is enabled, a constant nominal 10 or 20 ms delay is introduced to the probe output. It may be necessary to reduce the probe approach speed to allow for the increased stylus overtravel during the extended time delay. Factory set to OFF. Hibernation mode Only applicable to radio-on mode. When RMP60 is in standby and RMI or RMI-Q is powered off or out of range, the probe enters hibernation; a low power mode designed to save battery life. The probe wakes from hibernation to periodically check for its partnered RMI or RMI-Q. The 'wake-up frequency can be set to 30 seconds, 5 seconds or set to off; the probe never goes into hibernation. Factory set to 30 seconds. Multiple probe mode The RMP60 can be configured, using Trigger Logic, to allow multiple radio probes in spin on/
off or shank on/off to be used with a single RMI or RMI-Q. Up to four RMP60s can be used with a single RMI-Q in radio on/off mode. For further details of this functionality, please refer to the RMI-Q installation guide. NOTES:
Multiple probe mode is a function of the RMP60, as such, the option will not appear when the 'radio on' option has been selected. RMP60 probes which are set to 'multiple probe mode on' can coexist alongside any number of RMP60 probes set to 'multiple probe mode off'. To allow multiple radio probes to work in close proximity, and with a single RMI or RMI-Q, 16 choices of 'mode on' colours are available, each representing a different machine tool installation. See 'Multiple probe settings' in Section 4 -
Trigger Logic. All probes operating with a single RMI or RMI-Q must be set to the same 'mode on' colour choice;
any multiple probes located on adjacent machines must all be set to an alternative 'mode on' colour choice. Only one probe per 'mode on' colour choice needs to be partnered with the RMI or RMI-Q as, by configuring multiple probes to a single 'mode on' colour choice, all probes using this 'mode on' colour choice will have the same identity. The probe to be partnered is partnered after selecting the 'multiple probe mode' setting and choosing the 'mode on' option. See 'Changing the probe settings' in Section 4 - Trigger Logic. There is no limit to the number of probes that can be used with a single RMI or RMI-Q so long as they all have the same 'mode on' colour choice. All RMP60 probes are factory set to 'mode off'. The addition of any further probe(s) into a single probe installation will require that all probes are reconfigured to the same 'mode on' colour choice and that one of the probes are then repartnered with the RMI or RMI-Q. The addition of any further probe(s), or replacements, into a multi-probe installation can be achieved simply through the reconfiguration of the probe to the same 'mode on' colour choice. Draft copy 09/07/12 s c i s a b 0 6 P M R 2.5 Acquisition mode System set-up is achieved using Trigger Logic and powering on the RMI or RMI-Q. Partnering is only required during initial system set-up. Further partnering is only required if either the RMP60 or RMI/RMI-Q is changed. NOTES:
Systems using the RMI-Q can be partnered with up to four RMP60s manually. Alternatively this can be achieved by using ReniKey; a Renishaw machine macro cycle which does not require the RMI-Q to be powered cycled. Partnering by ReniKey is not available for RMI. Partnering will not be lost by reconfiguration of probe settings or when changing batteries, except where multiple probe mode is selected . Partnering can take place anywhere within the operating envelope.

Stylus trigger force is set by Renishaw. The user should only adjust trigger force in special circumstances e.g. where there is excessive machine vibration or insufficient force to support the stylus weight. To adjust the trigger force, turn the adjusting screw anticlockwise to reduce the force (more sensitive) or clockwise to increase the force (less sensitive). A stop helps to prevent damage which could be caused by overtightening the adjusting screw. XY trigger forces vary around the stylus seating.

A spindle probe is just one component of the measurement system which communicates with the machine tool. Each part of the system can introduce a constant difference between the position that the stylus touches and the position that is reported to the machine. If the probe is not calibrated, this difference will appear as an inaccuracy in the measurement. Calibration of the probe allows the probing software to compensate for this difference. During normal use, the difference between the touch position and the reported position does not change, but it is important that the probe is calibrated in the following circumstances:
when a probe system is to be used for the first time;
when the enhanced trigger filter delay is changed;
when a new stylus is fitted to the probe;
when it is suspected that the stylus has become distorted or that the probe has crashed;
at regular intervals to compensate for mechanical changes of your machine tool;
if repeatability of relocation of the probe shank is poor. In this case, the probe may need to be recalibrated each time it is selected. It is good practice to set the tip of the stylus on-centre, because this reduces the effect of any variation in spindle and tool orientation (see
'Stylus on-centre adjustment' in Section 3 -
System Installation). A small amount of run-out is acceptable, and can be compensated for as part of the normal calibration process. Three different operations are to be used when calibrating a probe. They are:
calibrating either in a bored hole or on a turned diameter of known position;
calibrating either in a ring gauge or on a datum sphere;
calibrating the probe length. Calibrating in a bored hole or on a turned diameter Calibrating a probe, either in a bored hole or on a turned diameter of known size, automatically stores values for the offset of the stylus ball to the spindle centre-line. The stored values are then used automatically in the measuring cycles. Measured values are compensated by these values so that they are relative to the true spindle centre-line. Calibrating in a ring gauge or on a datum sphere Calibrating a probe either in a ring gauge or on a datum sphere with a known diameter automatically stores one or more value for the radius of the stylus ball. The stored values are then used automatically by the measuring cycles to give the true size of the feature. The values are also used to give true positions of single surface features. NOTE: The stored radius values are based on the true electronic trigger points. These values are different from the physical sizes. Calibrating the probe length Calibrating a probe on a known reference surface determines the length of the probe, based on the electronic trigger point. The stored value for length is different from the physical length of the probe assembly. Additionally, the operation can automatically compensate for machine and fixture height errors by adjusting the probe length value that is stored.

This should be done on a regular basis to maintain optimum transmission. You may undertake the maintenance routines described in these instructions. Further dismantling and repair of Renishaw equipment is a highly specialised operation, which must be carried out at authorised Renishaw Service Centres. Equipment requiring repair, overhaul or attention under warranty should be returned to your supplier. Draft copy 09/07/12 RMP60 installation guide Changing the batteries e c n a n e t n a M 5.2 i 1 2
CAUTIONS:
Do not leave exhausted batteries in the probe. When changing batteries, do not allow coolant or debris to enter the battery compartment. When changing batteries, check that the battery polarity is correct. Take care to avoid damaging the battery cassette gasket. Only use specified batteries.
CAUTION: Please dispose of exhausted batteries in accordance with local regulations. Never dispose of batteries in a fire. Draft copy 09/07/12 3 NOTES:
After removing the old batteries, wait more than 5 seconds before inserting the new batteries. Do not mix new and used batteries or battery types, as this will result in reduced life and damage to the batteries. Always ensure that the cassette gasket and mating surfaces are clean and free from dirt before reassembly. If dead batteries are inadvertently inserted into the probe, the LEDs will remain a constant red. e c n a n e t n a M 5.3 i Battery types Lithium Thionyl Chloride Nickel Cadmium/Nickel Metal Hydride x 2 RS:

t l u a F 7.2 RMP60 installation guide Symptom Cause Action Machine stops unexpectedly during a probing cycle. Radio link failure/RMP60 out of range. Check interface/receiver and remove obstruction. RMI or RMI-Q receiver/machine fault. Refer to receiver/machine users guide. Exhausted batteries. Change batteries. Probe unable to find target surface. Stylus not given sufficient time to settle from a rapid deceleration. Check that part is correctly positioned and that stylus has not broken. Add a short dwell before the probing move (length of dwell will depend on stylus length and rate of deceleration). False probe trigger. Enable enhanced trigger filter. Selection error for RMI-Q. Review interface error indication and correct. Probe crashes. Workpiece obstructing probe path. Review probing software. Probe length offset missing Review probing software. Draft copy 09/07/12 Symptom Cause Action Poor probe repeatability and/or accuracy. Debris on part or stylus. Clean part and stylus. Poor tool change repeatability. Loose probe mounting on shank or loose stylus. Calibration out of date and/or incorrect offsets. Redatum probe after each tool change. Check and tighten as appropriate. Review probing software. i g n d n i f
t l u a F 7.3 Calibration and probing speeds not the same. Review probing software. Calibration feature has moved. Correct position. Measurement occurs as stylus leaves surface. Measurement occurs within the machines acceleration and deceleration zone. Review probing software. Review probing software and probe filter settings. Probing speed too high or too slow. Perform simple repeatability trials at various speeds. Temperature variation causes machine and workpiece movement. Machine tool faulty. Minimise temperature changes. Perform health checks on machine tool. Radio link failure RMP60 out of RMI or RMI-Q range. Check position of RMI or RMI-Q, see operating envelope. RMP60 has been enclosed/
shielded by metal. Change batteries. RMP60 and RMI or RMI-Q are not partnered. Partner RMP60 and RMI or RMI-Q. RMP60 status LEDs do not correspond to RMI or RMI-Q status LEDs. Draft copy 09/07/12 RMP60 installation guide i g n d n i f
t l u a F 7.4 Symptom Cause Action RMI or RMI-Q error LED lit during probing cycle. Probe not switched on or probe timed out. Change setting. Review turn off method. Probe out of range. Check position of RMI or RMI-Q see operating envelope. Low batteries. Change batteries soon. RMI or RMI-Q low battery LED lit. Reduced range. Local radio interference. Identify and remove. Probe fails to switch off. Incorrect switch off method configured. Check configuration and alter as required. No RMI or RMI-Q 'start/stop'
signal (radio on mode only). Check RMI or RMI-Q for green start LED. Probe in timeout mode and placed in tool magazine and is being triggered by movement. Malfunctioning shank switch
(shank switch mode only). Use shorter timeout setting or use different switch off mode. Check switch operation. Incorrect spin speed (spin switch on only). Check spin speed. Level start used for M code on/off when the probe is set to radio on/
timeout off. Change to a pulsed M code or change the probe to radio on/off. Probe was triggered when batteries were inserted. Do not touch the stylus or stylus mounting face during battery insertion. Probe goes into Trigger Logic configuration mode and cannot be reset.
